Washington, D.C. – Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) released the following statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling for Smith & Wesson in Mexico v. Smith & Wesson
“The Supreme Court made the right decision in unanimously rejecting Mexico’s frivolous lawsuit against American gun manufacturers, including Smith & Wesson,” said Lummis. “This ruling reaffirms that American companies cannot be held liable for the criminal actions of third parties who misuse their lawfully manufactured products. The blame for gun violence in Mexico lies with criminal cartels, not with manufacturers. This is a win for the Second Amendment – America will not allow foreign governments to attack our constitutional rights through activist litigation. “
