SCOTUS takes another case! -CRPA

Mexico is suing an American company for facilitating crime. Yes, you read that correctly. That case, known as Smith & Wesson vs. Estados Unidos Mexicanoswill now be heard by the Supreme Court.

The lawsuit alleges that Smith & Wesson, in its otherwise legal business, facilitates crime by Mexican drug cartels. Since the passage of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) in 2005, firearms manufacturers have been shielded from liability when someone uses their products illegally. Can the PLCAA really be undone by a foreign country?

To help answer that question and the other implications of the case, attorney Kostas Moros joins CRPA TV host Kevin Small. Together with the Vanderstok case argued on Tuesday, and possibly other cases (e.g. Snope), this case provides the Court with an opportunity to clarify the application of the law. Bruen standard forward.

The correct application of Bruen is critical to so many cases across the country. Too often, courts simply ignore the new standard entirely. In Sweetsthe Second Amendment portion of the challenge was dropped due to the argument that an AR-15 is not even a firearm. How long do we really want to put up with that ‘logic’?
