Re: Up from Mexico Way: A Lawsuit Against U.S. Gun Manufactu

A recent NRA email I received talked about this issue. Sorry I didn't save it, but I'll
recap some of the highlights:

Circa 2006, Washington legislators passed a law which outlawed lawsuits against gun makers
for selling their legal products.

Despite this, Mayor Bloomberg of NYC initiated multiple lawsuits against Beretta. His aim
was to put gun makers out of business by suing them into insolvency.

Over the years, federal judges have thrown these cases out, based on the federal statute
that protects gun makers.

The law firm that Mexico has enlisted is based in NYC - one of Bloomberg's contacts no doubt.

So - Mexico is spending lawyer money in the Big Apple, on lawsuits that will be thrown out later
by federal judges. Sheesh.

SIA
