Mexican standoff
Texas GOP Senator Ted Cruzalong with other members of the Republican Congress, filed an amicus brief in support of American gun manufacturers, urging the Supreme Court to “uphold American sovereignty and the Second Amendment.”
The case, Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. v. United Mexican States, stems from a lawsuit filed in 2021 by the Mexican government, in which the government alleged that U.S. gun manufacturers, such as Smith & Wesson, Ruger and others, should be liable for gun violence committed by cartels south of the border because the companies were allegedly aware that their firearms were used. smuggled into the country.
“I am leading this amicus brief to uphold American sovereignty and our Second Amendment. The lawsuit filed by Mexico aims to trample on our Constitution,” Cruz told Fox News Digital. “I look forward to the Supreme Court putting an end to this madness, putting an end to Mexico’s attack on our Second Amendment and sending a clear message that American sovereignty will not be eroded by any country.”Read more
