Mexican Government Sues U.S. Gun Makers over Cartel Crime

The new lawsuit filed by the government of Mexico (with the help of Brady legal counsel Jonathan Lowy) accusing the firearms industry of knowingly causing cartel violence south of the border involves most of the major manufacturers in the U.S., including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Sturm Ruger, and Beretta. One big name in the industry that’s not a part of the new litigation is Sig Sauer, and while we don’t know for sure why the Mexican government didn’t name them as a defendant, it sure looks like the fact that Mexico’s planning on spending millions of dollars on the company’s products has something to do with it.



The small arms maker Sig Sauer Inc has sought U.S. approval to sell millions of dollars’ worth of automatic assault rifles to the armed services of Mexico in a deal that will help to modernize the country’s military, people familiar with the situation said.



The U.S. Congress was notified last week that the Mexican Navy and Naval Infantry are in line to purchase as much as $5.5 million worth of automatic rifles made by Sig Sauer.

Is Mexico Playing Favorites In Its Lawsuit Against Gun Makers?

Transparently hypocritical. I'd say this fact weakens the lawsuit but who knows with our court system these days.
