SAF\u2019s Alan Gottlieb warns of a wave of expensive litigation targeting gun makers, potentially crippling the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NSSF emphasizes that the case attempts to sideline Congress and misuse the U.S. court system for political gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally dismissed by U.S. District Judge Dennis Saylor in 2022, the case gained new life when the First Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the ruling earlier this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court\u2019s decision will now determine whether the PLCAA continues to protect firearm manufacturers from liability for crimes committed abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-clear-message-to-congress-and-courts\">A Clear Message to Congress and Courts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the NSSF and SAF make it clear that this case isn\u2019t just about one lawsuit. It\u2019s about preserving the rights enshrined in the Second Amendment and preventing foreign governments from influencing domestic firearm policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With arguments echoing through the highest court, the stakes couldn\u2019t be higher for gun makers and gun owners alike.  <em><strong>What do you predict will happen? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/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=\"nssf-saf-defend-gun-industry-against-mexicos-10b-lawsuit\" title=\"NSSF, SAF Defend Gun Industry Against Mexico's $10B Lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mexico\u2019s lawsuit blames American firearm manufacturers for crimes committed by narco-terrorist cartels within its borders, seeking $10 billion in damages. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":210266,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4024],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-210265","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-buzz","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NSSF, SAF Defend Gun Industry Against Mexico&#039;s $10B Lawsuit<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"U.S. Supreme Court case could reshape firearm industry.
