After hundreds of heavily armed Texas law enforcement personnel were unable to stop one very bad guy with a gun for 1 hour and 7 minutes at Robb Elementary School, the NRA may be looking for a new slogan.
Mexico's lawsuit against American gun manufacturers is revived by appeals court
From that report: Jonathan Lowy, founder and president of Global Action on Gun Violence, points out why Mexico is suing US gun manufacturers.
Mexico alleges and intends to prove that, for decades, gun manufacturers have known how their guns are trafficked to the illegal market in Mexico and here in the United States. They know that there's a small group of bad apple gun dealers - about 5% of gun dealers - selling about 90% of the crime guns. They know that many of these sales are bulk sales of a number of assault weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition. And manufacturers could require their dealers to sell guns responsibly and cut off the bad ones, but they choose not to in order to profit off the criminal market.
The gun manufacturers refuse to police themselves because it might be bad for their business.
Maybe Mexico should build a border wall to keep guns from streaming into the country and make the US gun manufacturers pay for it. 🤔
We need a Supreme Court that will stop rubber stamping NRA and GOP policies. The only way to get that is to keep electing Democratic presidents and keep Democrats in control of the US Senate. This requires a long term commitment the way Republicans spent decades packing SCOTUS with corrupt fanatics and drunks.
