Gunmakers shielded from Mexico's $10bn lawsuit
Bangkok Post
|June 07, 2025
The US Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a US$10 billion (325 billion baht) lawsuit by the Mexican government accusing American gun manufacturers of fuelling drug cartel violence.
-
In a unanimous 9-0 opinion, the top court said a federal law — the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) — shields the gunmakers from liability.
"Mexico's lead claim — that the manufacturers elect to sell guns to, among others, known rogue dealers — fails to clear that bar," said Justice Elena Kagan, author of the opinion. "Mexico's complaint does not plausibly allege that the defendant manufacturers aided and abetted gun dealers' unlawful sales of firearms to Mexican traffickers."
