Appeals Court Revives Mexico’s Lawsuit Against Gunmakers
nytimesNOV 2023
This lawsuit is key in holding the US gun industry accountable for its contribution to violence at home and abroad and stopping the flood of trafficked guns to cartels. It's utterly unfair to grant legal shield for companies that are at the core of the gun violence problem.
The lawsuit is misplaced and baseless. Gun manufacturers in the US do produce a lawful product — and there's no similar issue in its border with Canada. Mexico should focus on bringing drug cartels to justice in its courtrooms instead of scapegoating the US gun industry for its own failed enforcement policies.
