Mexico can continue to sue five Arizona gun businesses over criminal gun trafficking through the southern border, a federal judge ruled Monday.
US District Judge Rosemary Marquez denied the firearms dealers’ request to have the case dismissed under the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). She rejected claims that the statute, which generally prohibits lawsuits against the gun industry for crimes committed by third parties, barred Mexico’s allegations that the gun dealers’ sales practices helped fuel criminal violence south of the border. She found Mexico met the bar to carry on with some of its claims, such as negligent entrustment of firearms to dangerous buyers or unjust enrichment through those sales, while tossing several others.
“The Court finds that Plaintiff’s Complaint adequately alleges that Defendants were unjustly enriched by Plaintiff bearing the costs of correcting harm that Defendants caused for purposes of increasing their profits,” Judge Marquez wrote in Mexico v. Diamondback Shooting Sports et al. “Plaintiff has also alleged a connection between, and an absence of justification for, the enrichment and impoverishment: Defendants profit from selling firearms to straw purchasers and firearm traffickers, Defendants’ sales result in the flow of firearms to cartels in Mexico, and Plaintiff bears the cost of harm inflicted by the resultant cartel violence.”

Communist judges doing what communists judges do.
Trying to destroy the greatest country in the world.
Allowing a foreign nation to sue businesses in the United States, for alleged, indiscriminate harm because of the products they legally sell, is a recipe for disaster.
Why hasn’t Holder been charged?

These evil people don’t care that Obama shipped weapons to Mexico as a premise for shutting down gun sales in America.
Did the customer pass the background check and affirm they weren’t buying as a straw purchase?
If so, no lawsuit is viable.
If illegals can now buy guns legally in the US what is to stop them from sending the guns back to Mexico?
She’s not a Communist.
She’s a Mexican. Her parents are from Sonora, “moved to” the United States in 1968. Don’t know if illegally, but likely.
Her loyalty is to Mexico, her heritage is Mexico, she believes that the land she lives on now is Mexico. She has no business being anywhere near the government of the United States. She lied when she swore an oath of loyalty to the US and its Constitution. She’s loyal to Mexico. She should be removed.
For those of you in other states far from the “border”, you don’t understand what they are like. They want to reverse the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, they want all of the Southwest, and they plan to get it.
..Labrador is not going to give up the billions in remittances illegals here send back to him.

How much in remittances alone does Mexico receive from the US?
SAN DIEGO (Border Report—Feb 8, 2024)
More than $63 billion in remittances were sent to Mexico in 2023,
with most of the money arriving from the US, according to
Banxico, Mexico’s central bank.
The figure is a 7% hike from the previous year.
So we can sue Mexico for the drug violence in this country.
So when can Americans and American businesses sue Mexico over their cartels, drugs and illegals?
Why the hell are imported judges allowed to serve? Sorry. But any political and judge position should be to a born citizen.
To add insult to Americans, she’s Mexican
Probably never, I’m sure we’d be told we don’t have standing to sue. /s
Where is Eric Fast and Furious Holder when we need him?
Russia is not our enemy. Mexico is our enemy.
There, I said it.
Whatever happened to “plaintiff has no standing”? Or is that only for Conservative plaintiffs?
“Did the customer pass the background check and affirm they weren’t buying as a straw purchase?”
I believe the BATF has recently greenlighted illegals owning firearms. If so, it seems they should be suing the U.S. government, not the FFL retailer.
Gun dealers need federal permission for every sale they make. It is unethical to hold the dealers responsible for sales the feds authorized to proceed.
Used to be...as I recall when America was still America...that frivolous lawsuits were tossed as soon as they were filed.
