The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments today in a lawsuit filed by Mexico against American gun manufacturers. Mexico claims that just as U.S. officials are concerned about drug trafficking from Mexico into the United States, they are equally worried about the flow of weapons from the U.S. into their country. The lawsuit seeks to hold American gunmakers accountable for the violence caused by firearms in Mexico.

Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett weighed in on the matter, arguing that there is a fundamental difference between illegal drugs and legal firearms. He pointed out that this lawsuit is one of many attempts to hold American gun manufacturers liable for gun-related violence. According to Jarrett, U.S. laws provide broad protections for gunmakers, shielding them from most liabilities when criminals misuse their products. He stated that there is no evidence to suggest that American gun manufacturers are directly working with cartels. Instead, he believes that Mexico’s failure to combat cartel violence has led them to shift blame onto American companies. He predicted that the Supreme Court would likely reject the lawsuit, just as it has dismissed previous similar cases.

Steve Doocy noted that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is dealing with a separate deadline related to tariffs, and the U.S. government is considering classifying cartels as terrorist organizations. He suggested that Mexico’s legal action against gunmakers might be an effort to push back against these pressures. Jarrett sarcastically remarked that if Mexico’s lawsuit were successful, Americans could, in turn, sue Mexico for DUIs, blaming their drinking on Mexican tequila.

The conversation then shifted to a rise in train robberies, with eleven individuals being charged for stealing nearly half a million dollars’ worth of Nike products. Investigations revealed that these suspects were migrants in the country illegally, possibly working for cartels. Jarrett commented on the irony of the situation, attributing the rise in crime to the Biden administration’s border policies. He speculated that Mexican cartel leaders might be inspired by old Western films, orchestrating train heists much like those seen in classic movies.

Train robberies have reportedly increased by 40%, with cargo thefts exceeding $100 million. Jarrett suggested installing anti-theft technology to curb the problem. He also joked about hiring armed guards on horseback to deter criminals, referencing the tactics used in old Western films.

Doocy then raised concerns about the potential link between human trafficking and these organized crimes. He speculated that cartels might be offering free passage into the U.S. for migrants in exchange for their involvement in criminal activities, such as train heists. Jarrett agreed, emphasizing that cartels not only smuggle drugs into the U.S. but also facilitate the entry of individuals with criminal intentions. He warned that many illegal migrants entering the country with cartel assistance could be carrying out these crimes as part of their arrangement with criminal organizations.

As the discussion wrapped up, the panel agreed that the Mexican government should focus on addressing its own cartel violence rather than attempting to hold American businesses accountable for criminal activity beyond their control.
