Well.. May I just say that if, and that's a big if, they could actually show 
the companies are doing that, then they might have a case, but I'm pretty 
sure the only sales those companies have made to Mexico are for Government 
purchases or Government approved gun dealers. Companies are not responsible 
for any illegal actions taken with their products.

Really? As if the US gun manufacturers are running the cartels and telling 
them what to do?

But ok.. we will counter sue the Mexican government for enabling their 
criminals to smuggle drugs, money and people into our country and all crime 
that results from that. .
