They are fighting back against claims that these companies should be liable for gun violence in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knudsen and his coalition are pushing the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to overturn a lower court&#8217;s decision that might let other countries like Mexico challenge U.S. Second Amendment rights through American courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mexican government argues that gun makers are partly to blame for violence south of the border, saying these companies know some of their guns end up there illegally. Despite this, a federal law (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/daniel-defense-stands-firm-against-lawsuit\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"state-ags-defend-u-s-gun-makers-from-mexican-lawsuit\" title=\"State AGs Defend U.S. Gun Makers from Mexican Lawsuit\">PLCAA<\/a>) passed in 2005 protects these manufacturers, aiming to preserve American gun rights while preventing criminals from getting firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-new-burris-veracity-ph-scopes-nra-2024\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-burris-veracity-ph-scopes-nra-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"state-ags-defend-u-s-gun-makers-from-mexican-lawsuit\" title=\"State AGs Defend U.S. Gun Makers from Mexican Lawsuit\">New Burris Veracity PH Scopes \u2014 NRA 2024<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAmerican firearms manufacturers should not and do not have to answer for the actions of criminals, as established by the commonsense federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). Mexico\u2019s bad policies created the country\u2019s gun violence problem,\u201d\u00a0stated AG Knudsen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRather than take responsibility, Mexico and anti-gun activists are trying to blame and bankrupt American companies that follow the law,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The appeals court erred in their decision and the Supreme Court needs to correct it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Massachusetts federal judge initially dismissed Mexico&#8217;s lawsuit in 2022. However, the First Circuit Court surprisingly revived it, suggesting Mexico might fit a narrow legal exception to sue. This decision, according to Knudsen, undermines the PLCAA.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attorneys general are insisting SCOTUS needs to intervene because it&#8217;s up to Congress, not the courts, to manage the firearms industry. They argue that Mexico has other means to control its border issues rather than infringing on Americans&#8217; rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The legal brief also highlights Mexico&#8217;s choice to keep its borders open and its attempts to seek financial help from the U.S. for border management, which shouldn&#8217;t impact American gun laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-brief-states\">The Brief States: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Mexico could simply close\u2014indeed, militarize\u2014its border with the United States if it chose to do so.  Doubtless the closure would be painful, and Mexico has chosen to do otherwise. Indeed, Mexico has flung its border open and sought to extort billions of dollars from the United States to even attempt to manage the resulting chaos. Mexico should not be permitted to exert de facto control over the rights of American citizens to alleviate the consequences of its own policy choices.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Attorneys general from states including Alabama, Alaska, New Hampshire, and Wyoming, as well as the Arizona Legislature, have joined Montana in this legal challenge, making a strong statement in favor of protecting American firearm companies and gun rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"state-ags-defend-u-s-gun-makers-from-mexican-lawsuit\" title=\"State AGs Defend U.S. Gun Makers from Mexican Lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knudsen and his coalition are pushing the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to overturn a lower court&#8217;s decision that might let other countries like Mexico challenge U.S. Second Amendment rights through American courts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":202885,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,25,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-202882","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
