Pistolas at SCOTUS: Mexico v. Smith and Wesson for $10 Billion

One justice's anti-Second Amendment bias was on full display.

by Scott D. Cosenza, Esq. | Mar 5, 2025


The Supreme Court heard arguments in Smith & Wesson v. Mexico on Tuesday, March 4. The case appears designed to bankrupt the American firearms manufacturing industry while enriching our southern neighbors and it aligns Mexico with US-based anti-gunners. While court watchers expected to see pushback from conservatarian justices like Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch on such claims, other members of the court also seemed to disfavor the arguments, including Biden appointee Ketanji Brown Jackson. It looks like the eventual ruling will amount to another loss for gun prohibitionists and a win for individual rights.

A popular tactic favored by gun grabbers is to sue gun makers out of existence. The plaintiff’s bar, let loose, would move juries to tears with the experience of gun violence survivors. Then, they demand the gun companies open up their checkbooks and pay damages. Congress ended the practice in 2005 with the passage of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). As the Wall St. Journal reported at the time, “Gun controllers have responded [to legislative defeats] by avoiding legislatures and going to court, teaming with trial lawyers and big city mayors to file lawsuits blaming gun makers for murder.”

Mexico and the Anti-Gunners

That did the trick, mostly, until 2021. That’s when a group of highly motivated anti-gun movement lawyers thought they could poke a hole through the liability shield – via a ten-billion-dollar damage claim. The lawyers are those at the top of Big Anti-Gun – very talented career hoplophobes (people who suffer from an irrational fear of firearms) who have spent their lives trying to disarm their fellow Americans. How? By asserting that gun manufacturers should have known that some of their products would be used to commit crimes and are, therefore, liable.



The district court dismissed the claim as barred by the PLCAA. But then Mexico got a big break from the First Circuit Court of Appeals, which accepted the plaintiff’s theory that, as the defense brief put it, “defendants make firearms available knowing that some will be unlawfully smuggled abroad and put to criminal use and that they could be doing more to stop the problem.” No evidence was provided to back up the claim – no matter that gun manufacturers sell to federally licensed firearm distributors, which sell to federally licensed firearm dealers. It’s akin to a victim of a drunk driver suing Budweiser because they knew some people would drink and drive.

The Wise Latina Strikes Again

Most of the justices’ interactions with the advocates were sufficiently critical to lead many to predict Mexico would lose its case. Justice Sotomayor was a notable exception to an otherwise mostly skeptical reception. She invented the notion that producing flashy-looking weapons was designed to appeal to cartel members. Then, our most progressive justice mistakenly equated correlation with causation:

“You have the manufacturers aiding and abetting, in your theory, by producing guns that are singularly attractive to the cartel because they are designed in a particular way that cartel members like because they’re showy. They’re making erasable serial numbers, which obviously are attractive to criminals because every criminal would like to erase the serial number if they can.”

New banner Legal Affairs with ScottThe guns with erasable serial numbers appear to be fabricated by her imagination. Even still, Sotomayor doesn’t seem to understand how criminals operate. Almost no criminal keeps or carries a firearm without a serial number because mere possession of it is an additional federal crime. And one that’s easy to prove! While proving a drug conspiracy or fraud operation may be quite challenging for police and prosecutors, the same is not true if they encounter anyone with a firearm having an obliterated serial number. 18 U.S.C.§ 922(k) makes mere possession of such a gun a felony punishable by a 5-year term.

Mexico has ultra-strict gun control laws. Only two gun stores serve the needs of its 131 million people. By comparison, Wyoming has 566 licensed gun dealers. Wyoming’s homicide rate is 2.6 per 100,000 people. In Mexico, it’s 23.3. This appeal springs from a pre-trial motion to dismiss the case. Smith and Wesson could lose this appeal and later win their case in a lower court or upon further appeal. The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling by summer.

Suppressors:

The Second Amendment: new Trumpian opportunities

By Mike McDaniel


As with the efforts of DOGE in exposing outlandishly costly fraud, graft and funding for American’s domestic and foreign enemies, Democrats/socialists/communists are screaming in anguish and rage at the thought of Americans once again having accountability over unaccountable bureaucrats and politicians and regaining stolen liberty.



As Barack Obama sneered, elections have consequences. Among them, with Donald Trump’s reelection, is a new respect for the Second Amendment, the part of the Bill of Rights that secures the rest. For the first time in many years, there is real potential to pass laws that would enhance individual liberty.

Sen Mike Lee has proposed the SHUSH Act to deregulate suppressors (there’s no such thing as a silencer). The provisions:


*Eliminate federal regulation of suppressors as firearms under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and the Gun Control Act (GCA).

*Remove existing taxes, fees, and registration requirements associated with suppressors.

*Allow current or retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms with suppressors.

*Preempt state regulations on the manufacture, transfer, transport, or possession of suppressors.

*Strike provisions requiring mandatory minimum sentences for suppressor possession in certain cases.

*Exempt suppressors from regulation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

*Provide a provision for a refund of the $200 transfer tax for anyone who purchased a suppressor within two years prior to the enactment of the bill.

*If passed, the SHUSH Act will work alongside the Hearing Protection Act to further deregulate suppressors and remove them from the Gun Control Act of 1968.

In essence, suppressors would no longer be treated like machineguns, requiring a lengthy and expensive federal process. They’d be treated like other lawful firearm accessories.

And Rep. Richard Hudson has introduced the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which would require states to treat concealed carry permits essentially as driver’s licenses.

Both more than reasonable laws have never been up for a vote in the past, even when Republicans held the House, Senate and White House, because Republican “leaders” said the time wasn’t right. Perhaps it finally is. Free Americans may never get a better chance to claw back essential liberty and foil blue, anti-liberty/gun states.

Perhaps most encouraging is President Trump’s Second Amendment Executive Order, which strongly suggests he’d sign the aforementioned bills and other legislation that would preserve and strengthen individual liberty. His EO requires (in part):

Sec. 2. Plan of Action. (a) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General shall examine all orders, regulations, guidance, plans, international agreements, and other actions of executive departments and agencies (agencies) to assess any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens, and present a proposed plan of action to the President, through the Domestic Policy Advisor, to protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.
(b) In developing such proposed plan of action, the Attorney General shall review, at a minimum:
(i) All Presidential and agencies’ actions from January 2021 through January 2025 that purport to promote safety but may have impinged on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens;
(ii) Rules promulgated by the Department of Justice, including by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, from January 2021 through January 2025 pertaining to firearms and/or Federal firearms licensees;
(iii) Agencies’ plans, orders, and actions regarding the so-called “enhanced regulatory enforcement policy” pertaining to firearms and/or Federal firearms licensees;
(iv) Reports and related documents issued by the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention;
(v) The positions taken by the United States in any and all ongoing and potential litigation that affects or could affect the ability of Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights;
(vi) Agencies’ classifications of firearms and ammunition; and
(vii) The processing of applications to make, manufacture, transfer, or export firearms.

Sec. 3. Implementation. Upon submission of the proposed plan of action described in section 2 of this order, the Attorney General shall work with the Domestic Policy Advisor to finalize the plan of action and establish a process for implementation.

In other words, in short order the Trump Administration will eliminate gun control bureaucrats and programs hidden in the government, end any on-going anti-Second Amendment litigation, end unconscionable government harassment of law-abiding Federal Firearm License dealers and even end the ATF’s prior unjustified reclassification of guns and accessories that made instant felons of millions of law-abiding Americans for possessing previously lawful things.

And that wasn’t the only necessary and worthwhile step Trump has taken in support of the Second Amendment. Within little more than a day after taking office, Trump shuttered the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, a thinly veiled anti-liberty/gun bureaucracy--as if the ATF wasn’t enough-- started by the Harris/Biden Administration that would have done nothing to prevent violence but much to steal additional liberty.

As with the efforts of DOGE in exposing outlandishly costly fraud, graft and funding for American’s domestic and foreign enemies, Democrats/socialists/communists are screaming in anguish and rage at the thought of Americans once again having accountability over unaccountable bureaucrats and politicians and regaining stolen liberty.

That’s discordant music to the ears of free Americans, and it’s long past time.

‘Merica: Grocery Stores Selling Ammunition Out of Vending Machines in Alabama and Oklahoma
AWR HAWKINS 6 Jul 2024 2:11

Some grocery stores in Alabama and Oklahoma now have American Rounds vending machines which allow customers to buy ammo for their guns while getting a cart full of groceries for their families.

Cleveland.com reported on the vending machines, noting they are currently in six locations and “[use] artificial intelligence technology to verify a buyer’s identification and age through card scanning and facial recognition software.”

One of the locations is a Fresh Value store in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Terry Stanley, COO of the Fresh Value, said, “We’re always looking for ways to give our customers another reason to come visit our stores. Anything we can do to help them make their shopping trips easier, based on the feedback we’ve gotten from customers today, they are so excited about us having this ammo kiosk.”

American Rounds, the company which manufactures and distributes the ammo vending machines, has a statement on its website explaining that their system of purchase age and eligibility checks “ensures that all transactions comply with federal and local regulations, maintaining the highest standards of responsible sales.”

Additionally, American Rounds pointed out, “We are committed to providing a secure environment that customers can trust for their ammunition needs.”

Still coming for your guns:

The Anti-Gun Lobby Comes for Glock With Chicago Lawsuit

More shots fired in the war on semiautomatic weapons.

by Graham J Noble | Mar 22, 2024

The city’s leaders point fingers at gun manufacturers to deflect from their inability – or perhaps even unwillingness – to solve the problems they were elected to solve.

At this point, it is almost amusing to hear anti-gunners proclaim, “No one wants to take your guns.” After all, that seems to be exactly what a case like this is designed to do.

Semiautomatic pistols produced by the Austrian gun manufacturer Glock G.m.b.H. dominate the handgun market in the United States. Pull up lists of the ten most popular handguns, and Glock variants will likely occupy at least half the spots on any of them. It comes as no surprise, then, that the anti-gun lobby would want to go after the company. In the latest example of anti-Second Amendment lawfare, the city of Chicago and Everytown Law are suing Glock over the alleged ease with which its pistols can be modified to function as fully automatic.

The complaint asserts that it is “too easy” to modify a Glock so that it has fully automatic capability. This is done by installing an auto sear, more commonly known as a “Glock switch.” The pistol becomes, in effect, a “machine gun,” firing continuously for as long as the trigger is depressed – or until the magazine is empty.

Semiautomatic vs Fully Automatic

An adept shooter can accurately fire multiple rounds from a semiautomatic handgun in a couple of seconds. The technique is simple to master and, while the rate of fire even from a highly trained shooter would not match that of a fully automatic weapon, a whole magazine of ammunition can be accurately laid down on a target in extremely rapid fashion. Even in combat situations, full-auto has limited practical use – which is why modern military-grade rifles have levers enabling the operator to switch among single shot, three-round burst, and continuous fire, the last used only in situations where the goal is simply to suppress enemy fire – to make them keep their heads down, so to speak.

Unless one has incredible strength, the accuracy of fully automatic fire degrades very quickly after the first three or four rounds due to the rapid recoil that makes the weapon “jump.” Even the most highly trained warrior could not fire off a 30-round magazine from a rifle in full-auto mode without several of those rounds missing the intended target. Thus, fully automatic weapons are, in reality, no more dangerous than semiautomatics in most situations.

All this is to say that the ability to modify pistols represents no serious threat to the general population. Few if any law-abiding American gun owners want or need a fully automatic handgun because it really has no practical use when a semiautomatic allows for sufficient speed and accuracy. Should they be allowed to own one anyway? Second Amendment advocates would say yes – whether such a weapon is “needed” or practical is entirely irrelevant.

Quite apart from the obvious question of why most Americans cannot legally own fully automatic firearms, the lawsuit is an exercise in frivolity. Although the complaint cites the number of modified Glocks recovered from crime scenes in Chicago, it is entirely fair to point out a couple of truths. Few of the millions of Glock owners are aware of the “Glock switch.” Most of them probably wouldn’t know how to modify their pistols for fully automatic firing, and even if they did, not many well-trained gun owners would think it necessary. With the right tools and know-how, one can modify any semiautomatic pistol or rifle to give it fully automatic capability.

Then, of course, there is the fact that anyone determined to acquire a Glock and convert it to an automatic weapon is going to do so, whether it is legal or not. Chicago, for all its restrictions on the purchase and carrying of guns, continues to endure its very own epidemic of gun violence. Over 400 people have been shot in the city so far in 2024 – barely one-quarter of the way through the year. More than 80 have been shot and killed.

Between Feb. 19 and March 19 of this year, the Windy City has seen just three days in which fewer than three people were shot and only six days on which there were no homicides. Chicago doesn’t have a gun problem; it has a law and order problem and very serious social problems. The city’s leaders point fingers at gun manufacturers to deflect from their inability – or perhaps even unwillingness – to solve the problems they were elected to solve.


It’s Not Just About Glock

Of course, that the overwhelming majority of Glock owners either don’t know how to install a switch or wouldn’t want to is not a legally sound defense and has no real bearing on this case. The point, however, is that the residents of the state of Illinois face a further infringement of their Second Amendment rights because a criminal element – the very people who do not abide by gun laws anyway – has chosen to take advantage of a modification. This is the bump stock issue all over again — but with much more serious potential consequences.


The bigger picture is that Everytown Law likely sees this as a test case. If it can ban Glock pistols for being too easy to modify, then it is a very small step to banning all semiautomatic weapons. The complaint is crafted to allow almost endless expansion of the plaintiffs’ argument. In a nutshell, the suit seems designed to set up the narrative that all semiautomatic weapons (not just Glocks) are simply too dangerous because they can be modified for continuous fire.

The campaign against the private ownership of semiautomatic weapons has kicked into high gear since Joe Biden came to the White House. He is on record saying, in November 2022, “the idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick.” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s lawsuit against Glock, supported by Everytown, is just another angle of this campaign – a backdoor attempt to create a justification for banning firearms altogether.

At this point, it is almost amusing to hear anti-gunners proclaim, “No one wants to take your guns.” After all, that seems to be exactly what a case like this is designed to do.

The Mumified Meat Puppet Administration’s (MMPA) still at it!!!

Universal background checks: backdoor, illegal gun registration

By Mike McDaniel

During my law enforcement career, I had several occasions to hand, on silver platters, the BATF cases of people illegally acquiring guns. These were felons, people who needed to be prosecuted. The BATF didn’t bother to arrest one of them. But we can be certain, based on the MMPA’s persecution of Normal Americans for exercising their constitutional rights, the BATF will be eager to arrest any father or son who doesn’t adhere to their unconstitutional rules.

President Biden, actually his handlers, and not a few Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) politicians, continually advocate for gun control. Their currently favored narrative demands bans on “assault weapons,” “high-capacity magazines” and “universal background checks.” There is no such thing in firearm nomenclature as an “assault weapon.” What D/s/cs mean is “any gun we don’t like,” which amounts to the AR-15 family or anything like it. “High-capacity magazines” are those of greater than 10-round capacity, though they really want fewer rounds--like none. “Universal background checks” are even more expansive:


President Joe Biden’s Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms is working with the Department of Justice to regulate private gun sales into oblivion by mandating background checks for personal firearm exchanges, according to whistleblower group Empower Oversight.

Federal law currently requires background checks for any gun buyers who purchase their new weapons through a licensed federal firearms dealer (FFL). Two sources in communication with Empower Oversight confirmed the ATF is prepared to move forward with a rule that would classify a closed-door gun sale between friends or family members the same as firearm purchases made from FFLs.

Federal law prevents the government from keeping records on the sale of most gun purchases. Purchasers of guns at from federal firearm licensed dealers must fill out the common ATF Form 4473, which dealers must keep for at least 20 years. If they go out of business, they must give all of those records to the BATF. There is no central, federal firearm registry, though it’s an open secret the government does its best to compile one in every way possible in violation of federal law.


The rule, proposed by the DOJ and ATF at the behest of Biden’s gun control wish list issued in March 2023, seeks to change the definition of “who is engaged in the business of dealing in firearms” to increase the number of Americans required to become FFLs, a lengthy and far from “easy” process, that must conduct background checks to sell their guns.

The 1986 Firearms Owners’ Protection Act determined that regulation of those “engaged in the business” of selling guns commercially “shall not include a person who makes occasional sales, exchanges, or purchases of firearms for the enhancement of a personal collection or for a hobby, or who sells all or part of his personal collection of firearms.”

What the AFT and DOJ are trying to do is force every American who in any way “buys” a gun, to go to a licensed dealer, who will be forced to run a federal background check and force the “buyer” to fill out a 4473. This would exceed the AFT’s power. Not only would such a “rule” require congressional legislation, it would violate at least four current federal laws. That, however, would not be out of character of the Mumified Meat Puppet Administration’s (MMPA) disregard for the law:

The ATF and DOJ have made several unconstitutional moves against law-abiding gun owners in the last three years. At Biden’s direction, the ATF attempted to turn pistol brace owners into felons, shutter gun stores over paperwork flukes, “ban” ghost guns, shut down ammunition sales, and alter the legal definition of a firearm to instate background checks for gun parts.

Arguably, such a rule would also be unconstitutional, backdoor gun registration. The MMPA has been doing its best, just as the Clinton and Obama Administrations did, to shut down as many federal firearm licensee businesses as possible. When that happens, those FFL dealers must turn over all their 4473s to the government. If every private transaction required a 4473, that would greatly increase government’s illegal firearm registry.

The rule would also impose additional fees on gun ownership as dealers would surely charge a fee for their time and paperwork. Under the Supreme Court’s 2022 Bruen decision, this is clearly unconstitutional. The rule would also surely define anyone giving a family member or relative a gun as a “sale” requiring a 4473. A father giving his son or daughter a rifle for their birthday would have to take them to a gun store to fill out a 4473.

During my law enforcement career, I had several occasions to hand, on silver platters, the BATF cases of people illegally acquiring guns. These were felons, people who needed to be prosecuted. The BATF didn’t bother to arrest one of them. But we can be certain, based on the MMPA’s persecution of Normal Americans for exercising their constitutional rights, the BATF will be eager to arrest any father or son who doesn’t adhere to their unconstitutional rules.


That’s the MMPA: lawless, always to the disadvantage of Americans.
