The lawsuit is misplaced and baseless. The Mexican government should focus on bringing drug cartels to justice in Mexican courtrooms instead of scapegoating the firearm industry for their unwillingness to protect Mexican citizens. The case deflects attention from Mexico's disgraceful and corrupt failure to address its internal issues.
