US EditionTwo Illinois Senators Help Introduce Bill on Gun Industry Negligence
- On June 5, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Mexico cannot sue Smith & Wesson and six other gun makers for cartel misuse of their products.
- Mexico originally filed the cross-border lawsuit in 2021, claiming gun companies knowingly contributed to illegal arms trafficking fueling cartel violence.
- The Supreme Court upheld a 2005 federal law that prevents gun manufacturers from being held responsible for crimes committed with their firearms.
- Justice Elena Kagan wrote that Mexico’s complaint did not plausibly allege manufacturers aided unlawful sales, and compared accountability limits to Twitter's inaction.
- The decision barred this lawsuit but leaves ongoing legal efforts by Mexico and highlights strong judicial consensus limiting gun manufacturer liability under federal law.
