Smith & Wesson filed a major brief about whether the Supreme Court should hear their appeal about their case versus the state of Mexico [Watch]
So when’s somebody going to go on offense?

Notes from the Resistance
A U.S. federal judge in Massachusetts again dismissed a $10 billion Mexican government lawsuit against six U.S. gun manufacturers on Wednesday. [More]
Did I miss a story about the companies countersuing, or is that somehow not legally or economically advisable? Why?
If the companies won’t do it, would a stockholder have standing?
Anybody hear a plan on if Trump wins what he will do to put a stop to this?
Mexico Asks US Supreme Court To Allow Its $10 Billion Lawsuit Against US Gun Makers [More]
And the only people urging us to boycott Mexico are environmentalcases at the Center for Biological Diversity…?
And I don’t suppose a countersuit’s an option…?

Border Patrol in California Seizes 25 AK-Style Rifles Destined for Mexican Cartel [More]
So if Californians got the rifles in Arizona, how did they get around this?
Federal law does permit rifles or shotguns (not handguns) to be sold to non-resident buyers in other states. However, this does not apply to Californians. The thorn is that federal law requires FFLs to only sell in compliance with the buyer’s state laws.
And you’ll note no one is talking about the obvious solution…

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Smith & Wesson in its legal fight against the government of Mexico, which seeks to hold the American gun manufacturer liable for criminal acts of third parties in Mexico. [More]
Yes, real threats from the open border directly impact the “single issue” in more ways than one.
Everyone realizes the government there would not exist without cartel sanction? A loyal American State Department would have Obrador on the carpet begging us not to cut back on trade and handout benefits.
Hundreds of Fast and Furious firearms have previously been traced to other shootings in Mexico. The new leak indicates hundreds more are still being found. [More]
So change the subject by trying to blame major gun retailers in an attempt to do the same thing the original plot tried to do: Enact more infringements.
I may do more on this.

Trump Mulls Deploying Special Forces To Assassinate Mexican Drug Lords: Report [More]
If you start something, you’d better be able to finish it. And anticipate responses will be assymetrical and designed to break popular will.
Blustering gins up the mob. Such support can turn.
How about we just build the wall instead?

Mexican authorities say two Australians and an American were killed on a surfing trip because thieves wanted the tires from their truck. [More]
Why anyone would go down there is beyond me.
A bigger question: What’s to stop those “thieves” from coming up here?
And the same Democrats enabling that want our guns.

Oklahoma GOP Governor Kevin Stitt Wants Mexican Diplomat To Help Draft State Law [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
During an interview with Univision that took place last Wednesday and aired on Tuesday, President Joe Biden stated that he would consider taking further executive action on guns and criticized 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump because Trump “famously told the NRA that, don’t worry, no one’s going to touch your guns” if Trump won.

Would it be out of line to at least hope his victim was also a fellow criminal?
This is what this motherf***ing extortionist is threatening to keep inflicting on us until we meet his demands. He ought to be treated like the terrorist he is.
Everyone realizes he wouldn’t be president if that didn’t serve cartel interests, right?

A U.S. judge on Monday ruled that the Mexican government could move forward with a lawsuit accusing five Arizona gun dealers of participating in the trafficking of weapons and ammunition to drug cartels across the U.S.-Mexico border. [More]
