DawgTalkers.net Forums Thread Like Summary - Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos

23-1141 Docket

Questions presented:

1. Whether the production and sale of firearms in the United States is the “proximate cause” of alleged injuries to the Mexican government stemming from violence committed by drug cartels in Mexico.

2. Whether the production and sale of firearms in the United States amounts to “aiding and abetting” illegal firearms trafficking because firearms companies allegedly know that some of their products are unlawfully trafficked.

Mexico essentially contends that gun makers in the US have enticed cartels to be violent by manufacturing guns and magazines that hold over ten rounds.

I will say that the judge had a good line in mine (I'm paraphrasing):

Vexatious Litigator: "I have spent thousands in filing fees and have not seen a dime in any of my actions!"

Judge" "Well, then I think we all know what the problem is..."
