The second most anti guns U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in the nation has just revived a lawsuit by Mexico looking to sue gun manufacturers out of business. Yeah, this is amazing.

So we’re going to keep it over here now.

Yeah, well, I’ve talked to you numerous times about this lawsuit where Mexico was trying to sue several gun manufacturers because they were willfully and maliciously exporting importing guns into Mexico, which are leading to deaths. And Mexico has to sue to stop these companies. And it’s interesting, I will say that the one company that they didn’t name, and this is the one company they have a military contract in with, and that’s SIg.

Here’s the front page of the lawsuit. And it’s Mexico versus Smith Wesson, Barrett Firearms, Barretta USA, Glock, Ruger, Interstate arms, Sentry arms, Barretta Holdings, Glock holdings, and Colt say no sig because they don’t want to upset their supplier of their military firearms. Now, I’m not going to get too far into this. This is a 60 page decision that I woke up this morning to read before I came on, and it’s bullshit.

But I think we all need to pay attention to this, because what these antigun judges are looking to utilize this case to do is to go around and destroy the PLCAA, which is the Protection of Lawful Commerce and Arms act. That is the law that was passed by Congress that protects gun manufacturers. This is the one you hear Biden saying all the time, we need to remove the protection for gun owners, for gun manufacturers.

So they can be sued. Nobody can sue them. It’s actually horseshit. They actually can get sued if they sell something that is defective and can cause injuries as a result of that. For an example, the SIG 320 issue. You see lawsuits pop up all over the country for that. But what the PLCAA does is it protects manufacturers from frivolous lawsuits when criminals use products and do criminal things and cause harm to people.

The gun didn’t do it. You can’t sue Glock, Smith Wesson, Ruger, sentry arms because a gangbanger killed somebody or a coward murdered some people and stuff like that. Right? We understand that. That’s like common sense. However, the attack on our rights is not common sense, y’all. Now, I think you’ll enjoy this little bit here because this will make you laugh. This is the circuit judge, Kayata, who penned this decision, says the governor of Mexico brings this lawsuit against seven us gun manufacturers and one distributor.

The district court dismissed Mexico’s complaint because it concluded that Mexico’s common law claims were barred by the Protection of Lawful Commerce and Arms act. That act prohibits the bringing of certain types of lawsuits against manufacturers and sellers of firearms in federal and state courts. We agree that the PLCAA’s limitations on the types of lawsuits that may be maintained in the United States apply to lawsuits initiated by foreign governments for harm suffered outside the United States.

However, this is like, I believe, in the second Amendment. But however, we hold that Mexico’s complaint plausibly alleges a type of claim that is statutorily exempt from the PLCAA’s general prohibition. We therefore reverse the district court’s holding that the PLCAA bars Mexico’s common law claims and we remand for further proceedings. The reasoning follows, then, a couple of quick blurbs here that’ll make you giggle. Mexico has strict gun laws that make it virtually impossible for criminals to obtain firearms legally sourced in the country.

It has one gun store in the entire nation and issues fewer than 50 gun permits a year. Despite these strong domestic regulations, Mexico has the third most gun related deaths in the world. The number of gun related homicides in Mexico grew from fewer than 2500 in 2003 to approximately 23,000 in 2019. Yeah, see the border area for the wars happening between cartels. The percentage of homicides committed with a gun similarly rose from 15% in 97% to 69% in 2021.

Now, ignoring the war between the factions that are at the border trying to run guns and drugs, those cartels will ignore they even exist. They continue and say the increase in gun violence in Mexico correlates with the increase of gun production in the United States, beginning with the end of the United States assault weapon ban in 2004. You see what they’re trying to do. Well, there’s more on here.

Mexico alleges that the costs have risen for medical and mental health, as well as other services for families of the victims, and increased costs of law enforcement and stuff like that. And that’s, of course, the fault of gun manufacturers in the United States. Not the fact that they’re inept or incapable of stopping the war between the cartels or that some of the federales have been known to take things into their own hands.

We’ll ignore all that. We’ll ignore the lawlessness that is taking place in Mexico. Because the truth of the matter is, it’s Smith and Wesson, it’s Ruger, it’s interstate arms. It’s everybody except for the manufacturer that we’re doing business with. It stinks, right? However, what else stinks is the first circuit. And this lawsuit was written in a specific way to try to pierce the bubble of the protection of lawful commerce and Arms act.

So I just wanted you to be aware that it is something we need to watch. If they’re going to allow other countries to try to sue gun manufacturers out of business, well, then they realize they’re losing the war at home, and they’re going to take it to us from abroad. But we’ll be there every step of the way. And they’re not taking over. For those who watch these videos, they are not taking over.

I appreciate each and every single one of you. Have a phenomenal day. For those looking for shot show updates, range day yesterday was cold and wet, and there were a cool few things. Some cool, some Glock slides from Franklin Armory that turned the gun into a binary triggered firearm and got to play with a 40 cal yesterday. That was cool. They also had a new ar 15 upper, which is piston gun, and there’s no springs in it.

And it also doesn’t have to be regulated. As far as the gas system goes. When you throw on a can, you shoot regular. Throw a can on, shoot regular. No adjustments needed. That’s pretty cool. And staccato, my new favorite manufacturer of toys. They came out with a brand new c with a full size grip and a smaller, compact grip. Amazing. They kind of brought everything that they brought from this cs over to this new c model.

And they came out with ammunition yesterday, too, that they make in house. So, getting ready to head down to the show floor, got some business to do. And I will be back with you. I just wanted you to be aware of what was going on. Appreciate you all. Please, guys and gals, if you watch my videos, please subscribe to the channel.
