MEXICO SEEKING 'SCAPEGOAT' FOR THEIR INEPTNESS IN DEALING WITH DRUG CARTELS!

Mexico wants to sue U.S. gun makers

The Mexican Government has retained an American law firm to explore filing civil charges against U.S. gun manufacturers and distributors over the flood of guns crossing the border into Mexico.  Mexico’s frustration with U.S. efforts to stop the flow of weapons into Mexico has pushed Mexico to litigation. This past November, President Felipe Calderon reported that of the 90,000 weapons seized – among them 50,000 assault weapons, AR-15 machine guns, more than 8,000 grenades and almost 10 million bullets – most were American.


President Obama is also on record quoting that 90% of all guns seized in Mexico were traced back to the U.S. However, President Obama’s 90% figure is taken from the number of guns submitted back to the U.S. for tracing rather than to the total number of weapons seized by the Mexican Government. Of course, we have no idea what that total number of weapons seized is and what is the real percentage of guns crossing the border from the U.S.

Law experts disagree whether or not U.S. gun makers will be protected by “The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act” passed in 2005, or if the federal law won’t be an issue f or savvy lawyers.  One the issue, Richard Feldman, President of the Independent Firearms Association, said: “Maybe we should be suing the Mexican government for their failure to prevent drugs from coming into our country.”

Perhaps, we should countersue the Mexican government for failing to prevent illegal immigrants crossing from their side of the border into the United States.
