Regarding their complicity and structured business model designed around fueling the illegal drug trade. I hope they win and I hope this is the first of many lawsuits that ends with these manufacturers carrying the majority of the burden of getting so many guns out of the US

We should compromise. We'll clamp down on our gun manufacturers sending firearms south of the border, and they do the same for drugs going north of the border.

I know so many people that have to drive to Mexico just to get basic prescription drugs

They are American citizens with jobs and they cant afford basic medicine because our healthcare is so fucked up.

So yeah Mexico has its problems but they are still basically a 3rd world country yet they have a lot of things figured out that we have neglected to the point of dysfunction and rampant corruption.

Ya, it's BS that there are so many laws in place preventing normal people from making their OWN guns

These gun companies have an unbreachable monopoly on killing

The best way to curb the drug cartels is to legalize the drugs they sell

CBSNews wrote

The Mexican government sued United States gun manufacturers and distributors Wednesday in U.S. federal court, arguing that their negligent and illegal commercial practices have unleashed tremendous bloodshed in Mexico.

Cool, cool.

But the court is going to toss the case because it is illegal to sue gun manufacturers in the US. I hope they fight it to the Supreme Court, but it will be a fight just to have standing.

But Switzerland! They have lots of guns and they're fine! Never mind that they also have lots of socialism and are fine, socialism is evil and the US doesn't want that. But the US does want guns, and look how fine Switzerland is!

its almost like you need to address both

why are you looking for such a stupid argument with this whataboutism? You think its good that so many unregistered firearms get made by US manufacturers and funneled to organized crime around the world?

Well then you have what happened in the eighties where they exchange the drugs for guns, especially if you can convince the CIA that you need those guns to kill commies.
