The examples they include in the lawsuit, Colt has a handgun called the Super El Jefe pistol, which they say is a term used to refer to cartel bosses. There's also a Emiliano Zapata 1911 pistol that's engraved with the Mexican revolutionary's statement that it's better to die standing than living on your knees.
So they say that these are designed and marketed knowing that they'll end up in the hands of the drug cartels.
The conservative majority of the Supreme Court has expanded gun rights and been very strong about the Second Amendment. But the lawyers for Mexico are saying this is not a Second Amendment case. This is about liability when your product is used illegally.
The appeals court, the First Circuit, unanimously reversed that and said, well, there's a narrow exception to that law. And here the gunmaker knowingly aided and abetted the illegal trafficking of guns. And so they say the lawsuit can proceed. And that's the question for the court, not whether the gunmakers are liable, but just whether this lawsuit can actually proceed.
