The high court stated the southern country did not demonstrate how firearm manufacturers arm drug cartels.
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled against the country of Mexico late last week, deciding that it could not adequately demonstrate that American gun manufacturers “aided and abetted unlawful gun sales that routed firearms to Mexican drug cartels,” according to the lawsuit.
Mexico filed the suit against seven U.S. gun manufacturers and one firearm wholesaler in March, alleging that the companies violated the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act by not exercising “reasonable care” in the distribution of their firearms. But the Supreme Court said Mexico failed to show how the defendants were directly violating the law.
“The question presented is whether Mexico’s complaint plausibly pleads that conduct. We conclude it does not,” wrote Justice Elena Kagan in the opinion of the court.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Chief Justice Roberts to seek God’s guidance as he presides over the Supreme Court.
- For the nine justices to receive the Lord’s wisdom as they issue opinions in the outstanding cases they have heard this term.
