Mexico’s attempt to place America’s largest gun businesses on the hook for cartel violence concerns found a cold reception before the Supreme Court this week.
This week, we’ve got a longer episode than usual. That’s because we’re doing a deep dive into oral arguments for the Supreme Court’s latest gun case, Smith & Wesson v. Mexico. Most observers, including me, thought Mexico faired poorly in its attempt to move forward with liability claims against American gunmakers over cartel violence south of the border. However, Professor Dru Stevenson, who studies gun policy at Southern Texas College of Law, had a bit of a different take. So, I wanted to have him on the show to go through why he thought the justices may be more sympathetic toward Mexico’s claims than most other people thought. While he still believes Mexico’s suit is unlikely to make it through the Supreme Court unscathed, Stevenson argued the justices might allow part of it to proceed. And, even if not, he said The Court may end up laying out what amounts to a framework for how to successfully pierce gun industry liability protections in future suits.
