In a merely nonsensical flip of occasions, legal professional generals from 18 Democrat-run states have joined collectively to file a short with the U.S. Supreme Court docket in help of Mexico’s lawsuit towards U.S. gunmakers and firearms retailers.
Led by rabidly anti-gun and now anti-American California Lawyer Common Rob Bonta, the AGs got here down on the mistaken aspect of the difficulty, selecting to aspect with Mexico’s corrupt authorities somewhat than People working in a extremely regulated trade. As regular, the AGs blame violent crime on weapons, not criminals—or on this case, bloody cartel members. It’s a transfer that indicators they’re keen to help the corrupt Mexican authorities and in so doing, reveal the extent of their very own corrupt actions that border on treason.
“It’s our responsibility to make sure that firms are held accountable once they violate the regulation—producers and distributors of firearms who threaten the security of our communities aren’t any exception,” Bonta stated in a press launch detailing the motion. “PLCAA doesn’t give gun producers and distributors a free go to create and distribute weapons they know are being trafficked and used to terrorize communities, in each Mexico and the US.” In the meantime, sneaking into the nation, dealing medication and trafficking firearms and people are all unlawful and at present going largely unpunished by Bonta and lots of different Democratic attorneys basic.
This newest transfer by anti-gun AGs is nothing lower than traitorous and un-American, siding with a international authorities over our nation’s enterprise pursuits merely to additional their very own political agenda. Gun homeowners dwelling in states whose AG selected Mexico over America ought to begin working now to take away these officers within the subsequent election and even sooner relying on the method required to provoke a recall.
On the coronary heart of the authorized battle are accusations by Mexico that U.S. firearm firms are complicit in fueling gun violence throughout the border, claims which can be patently laughable given the well-documented savagery of cartels with and with out weapons and widespread weak spot and corruption at each degree of the Mexican authorities. The problem has made all of it the way in which to the Supreme Court docket within the case ongoing case Smith & Wesson Manufacturers, Inc, et al. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos, and quite a few pro-gun teams have filed briefs with the courtroom asking that the lawsuit be killed.
The Democrat AGs, nevertheless, are arguing simply the other.
“When Congress enacted PLCAA, it intentionally struck a steadiness: it sought to make sure that law-abiding producers and sellers of weapons wouldn’t face legal responsibility for harms inflicted solely on account of third events’ illegal conduct, however concurrently preserved sure common-law and statutory treatments for harms led to by gun trade members’ personal misconduct,” the transient said. “This Court docket ought to reject Petitioners’ invitation to interpret PLCAA’s predicate exception to confer upon them absolute immunity as inconsistent with settled ideas relating to preemption, with conventional ideas of tort regulation, and with PLCAA’s textual content and legislative historical past.”
I’m positive TTAG readers would like to know if their state legal professional basic performed any half on this despicable motion, so we’re publishing the entire listing of AGs signing onto the transient.
