The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Feb. 26 in a case involving the showing that plaintiffs in “reverse discrimination” cases must make, followed by oral arguments on March 4 in a lawsuit brought by the Mexican government against U.S. gun manufacturers, seeking to hold them liable for gun violence in Mexico.

    I’m not sure how they hold manufacturers legally liable unless they’re directly selling to known traffickers.

      They are certainly marketing to them with things like the El Presidente pistol

          Its a special variant of a gold plated Colt 1911, emblazoned with the Mexican Eagle with a snake on a cactus that was specifically chambered into 38 super because .45 is banned in Mexico.

          They are like 3k state side, when you can find them and basically specifically marketed to cartel bosses.
