Mexico Hires New York Law Firm To Sue U.S. Gun Manufacturers And Dealers, While ATF Themselves Dodge Question Of Why They Have Been Supplying Guns To The Cartels – With Video

The question is, are they going to sue Obama, Eric Holder and the ATF who have been caught red-handed supplying guns to the cartels in a criminal set-up to falsely blame U.S. gun dealers for supplying them, specifically to aid in shutting them down via these lawsuits and impending legislation? This is a criminal conspiracy on the part of the administration far bigger than Watergate, and it should bring the administration down.

Mexico (AP) – Thursday, a Mexican official confirmed that President Felipe Calderon’s government has hired a U.S. law firm to investigate possible civil lawsuits against U.S. gun manufacturers or dealers, for what Mexican officials consider the companies’ responsibility for guns that are smuggled to Mexico’s drug war.
The government has long demanded the United States crack down on cross-border arms smuggling amid drug violence in Mexico that has killed more than 34,000 people over the last four years.
According to the official, who agreed to speak about the legal action only if granted anonymity, the government hired a New York-based law firm late last year to explore possible suits against U.S. gun manufacturers that may have knowingly or imprudently produced or distributed weapons that wound up in the hands of Mexican drug cartel gunmen.
Calls to the New York law firm seeking to confirm the contract went unanswered. The U.S. National Rifle Association did not immediately return calls seeking comment on Mexico’s action.
Many guns used to kill in Mexico never have their origins traced. But U.S. officials say that of the weapons discovered at Mexican crime scenes that authorities do choose to trace, nearly 90 percent are eventually found to have been purchased in the U.S. Critics of that estimate contend Mexican authorities focus on U.S.-made guns to trace.
A November 2008 study by the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think tank, estimated 2,000 U.S. guns are smuggled into Mexico each day. A new U.S. effort to increase inspections of travelers crossing the border has netted just 386 guns in two years.
Waco massacre of innocent U.S. gun owners and their children, committed by the Leftist revolution’s private anti-second amendment army, the ATF. And now they’re coming for you and yours.
