This post is about California and 17 other states support for a Mexico law suit to help put the gun manufactures in The US out of business. Yes, you heard it right, states going against an American industry that employees thousand of American workers. On March 4rh, 2025 there will be oral augments at the Supreme Court lets get the message out for them to reject this law suit without any merits.  

Mexico is claiming that US Gun Manufactures marketing is attracting cartels to buy weapons. Also they want to hold US gun manufactures liable for cartel violence. 

One of the things I do as an Private Investigator is investigate issues which can affect our daily lives. This attempt to take away our ability to have weapons to protect ourselves is so critical because as so many countries before us found out, without their guns they were prey to a totalitarian take over.

Hello, this is the Private Investigator Experience podcast, and I'm your host, Phil Little. Thank you for joining me today. On this channel, we talk about the cases in the life of a private investigator, as well as look at issues that are Domestic, international, and things that would affect us here at home. And also, I get requests to look into certain issues, do a deep dive investigation. And if you have something like that you would like to have an investigation done on, let me know. And this is one of those things today that I'm just alerting everyone on that you might have missed this because I know I did when it first came out a few weeks ago. With what's going on in Washington and all that's being revealed in this whole government area of corruption. I am astounded. I am not too. Surprised at anything in life with the business I'm in and what I've done, but still, this is mind blowing with the size of it, the depth of it, and across all government agencies. No wonder the press was supporting the left so much because they were getting these tens of millions of dollars from the U. S. aid organization. And that was also going to support democratic senators or congressmen running for office. Come on, guys, what in the world is going on? This is another one of those cases where a government, a state government actually there's 17 of them that are supporting a foreign power against we Americans by an assault on the American gun industry. And it also can affect our. Constitutional rights with our 2nd amendment, And what this is about, what we need to be aware of, and there's a Supreme Court hearing coming up on this. I think it's March the 4th. I'll check that at the end. On January 17th, the California Attorney General Robert Rob Bonita proclaimed his support for Mexico's position in the ongoing case of Smith and Weston, and that's a gun brand we all know, against a case in Mexico. The case, now at the Supreme Court, is an attempt by the Mexican government, working with U. S. based gun control advocates. To undo the protection of a lawful Commerce in Arms Act and what they're trying to do is to make a scapegoat out of the U. S. firearms industry for a Mexican lawlessness and imposed billions of dollars in liability on American gun manufacturers for violence perpetrated by violent criminals south of the border. You might say, what? There's no way they would do that. Oh, we don't know some of these states. The PLCAA was enacted in 2005. It had broad bipartisan support back then. And when it was set up, it was to protect the firearms industry from frivolous and politically motivated, we know about that, don't we? Lawsuits. In the mid 1990s, Gun control advocates, big city politicians, and trial attorneys teamed up to use the courts to bilt the gun industry for millions and force them, now listen to this, to agree to gun control measures that gun control supporters were unable to get enacted in law through Congress. So they were trying a backdoor approach here. These suits sought to hold members of the industry liable for criminal behavior of those who misuse their products. These suits, though without legal merit, pose a grave threat to the industry, and in turn, American gun owners and our abilities to exercise our Second Amendment rights are being affected. In 1998, the Executive Director of the Anti Gun U. S. Conference of Mayors was quoted by the New York Times as stating, The lawyers are seeing green on this issue. Yeah, like hundred dollar bill greens. Just a lot of them. They think they can bring the gun industry to its knees. One of those attorneys, seeing green, John Cole, was quoted in a 2000 Washington Post article remarking, the legal fees alone are enough to bankrupt the industry. We know what the purpose is of this, don't we? Take away our guns, take away our freedom. The PLCAA. This law is, is a limited it, it just protects lawsuits against the gun industry for the criminal misuse of their products by a third party, which they have no control over. Now suits against the industry for other things like normal product liability, unlawful sales and negligent entrustment. Those were still, uh, uh, legal and they could file those lawsuits. So they've used that to try to shut down the gun. Uh, industry by this, uh, throw in so many lawsuits at them that it would cost them a fortune. In legal fees, and that was what substated if they couldn't is a limited it just protects lawsuits against the gun industry for the criminal misuse of their products by a third party, which they have no control over. Now suits against the industry for other things like normal product liability, unlawful sales and negligent entrustment. Those were still legal and they could file those lawsuits. So they've used that to try to shut down the gun. Industry by this throw in so many lawsuits at them that it would cost them a fortune. In legal fees, and that was what substated if they couldn't get them one way, they would get them in enough legal fees to hamstring their businesses. The PLCAA was enacted to codify a longstanding principle in tort law. That gun control advocates are seen to trying to erode. U. S. tort law has long held that a person or entity cannot be responsible for third party's criminal acts. Simply put, people are responsible for their own behavior, not the behavior of others. Therefore, if a violent criminal acquires and misuses a firearm to commit a crime, it is his problem. He's liable for the conduct, not the company that produces the firearm. That would be just like holding a car manufacturer responsible for the actions of a drunk driver. That, that's how you come up. That's not even a thought. Because they know that's ridiculous, but these gun control activists will try anything they can to disrupt the second amendment rights of we, the citizens during this what they're doing is a cleer intent of to get around Congress and try to stop the gun efforts by American despite the clear intent of Congress, gun control advocates set to work trying to invent a way around the statute. The most recent effort involves the U. S. gun control advocates collaborating with Mexico council for Mexico. Includes longtime Brady, or it's a formerly handgun control incorporated organization. That's an attorney, Jonathan Lowe. Now, he's connected with a global action on gun violence and in October of 2022, Politico reported that global action on gun violence quietly filed paperwork. With the DOJ under the Foreign Agents Registration Act with Jonathan Lowe and Elizabeth Burke, who was also an attorney at the Brady registering as agents of Mexico. Now they're coming out of the shadows in their attempts to undo the PLCAA, Mexico and these gun control advocates have advanced the bizarre theory. Now listen to this. And this is an NRA's amicus brief summary that what they're saying is that members of the U. S. gun industry, the firearm companies they're saying that their advertisement is an intent to appeal to Mexican cartels by depicting their firearms in patriotic advertisements featuring American military, law enforcement, and American flags. So just advertising, they're saying, is attracting cartel business that wants their guns. Huh? They're advertising to American consumers to buy their weapons and they need to advertise so we know what they have so we can decide what we need. Aside from being attacked on the Americans ability to access firearms, to exercise their Second Amendment rights the argument imperils, though, the First Amendment right of companies to communicate with their legitimate customers. Mexico also contends that the gun industry members are liable, now listen to this, for cartel violence because they may be aware that unknown bad actors could use the lawful stream of commerce to criminally divert their firearms. Wow, that's a pretty big stretch. I think the Supreme Court's going to see through this to Mexico and their collaborators. It doesn't matter that the companies haven't been shown to have violated the mountain of federal regulations concerning firearm distributions. I don't know about you, but I was. Had a firearms license for years, and this was back starting in the 80s and 90s and early 2000s. And the regulation was bad enough then, and in California it got real bad. So if you're selling weapons, there's lots of controls. To follow their support for the foreign government, California joined 15 other states in filing an amicus brief at the Supreme Court advocating to undo P-L-C-A-A. That's that law that just protects, it's a basic protection that companies can't be sued for someone using their product illegally. And this press release by California Attorney General, but had a the press release says that this was explicit, that joining the document was about backing Mexico against a US industry. And he went on this. State today, California and one of 17 states attorney generals in filing an ambiguous brief in the U. S. Supreme Court supporting the Mexican government's lawsuit against gun manufacturers to hold them accountable for their contribution to gun violence in Mexico. This is just unbelievable. While California's assistance to Mexico may surprise some. An attempt to undermine America's Second Amendment rights shouldn't be a surprise. In 2021, California joined Amicus briefs supporting New York's position in the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, in which the Supreme Court made clear that the Second Amendment protects the rights to carry a firearm outside the home for self defense. One of Bonita's predecessors, the California Attorney General a woman, what was her name? Oh, Kamala Harris. She has denied that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to carry arms outside their home. Those seeking a robust defense of the PLCAA in America's Second Amendment traditions, and a repudiation of Mexico and its collaborators arguments, they're encouraged to read the NRA's brief. And oral arguments before the court have been set for March the 4th. Now, what's the purpose of these gun control advocates wanting to take away guns? It's not to stop crime. It's not to reduce criminals being able to get weapons because they're only going to get them. Whether it's a law or not, but it's to take away the rights of citizens to be able to protect themselves, not only in defense of an intruder or somebody causing them harm, but against an overreaching government. That's what's in our Constitution. The basis of our Second Amendment rights was to make sure an overreaching government wouldn't be able to take over America and become a dictatorship. Now, when you look at history, you go all the way back, you go back a long way. And find that when a dictator wanted to take over a country, the first thing they would do was take away the weapons from the citizens. That happened in Germany. That's what Hitler set out to do and what he accomplished. And if we allow that in America, we will then put ourselves in a position to become slaves to some master that can overthrow our constitution and our way of life. I'd like to hear your comments. Let me know what you think. If there's something you'd like to have an investigation done on, let me know and remember get involved, find out what's going on in your community. What's going on at your city council with local laws and what they're doing in the police. Thank God. We have the. DEI and gender stuff now being outlawed, CRT and those things, but they're still pockets. They're going to be trying to keep this leftist agenda, woke agenda up. We won a battle, folks. We didn't win the war. We still have a big way to go to make sure we support this government and what they're doing and making sure that we keep on Congress to enact these into law. So they can't be reversed easily by some of the president down the road. And if we don't accomplish this, we will be susceptible in 26 to losing the House or the Senate if we don't follow through on supporting of the Trump administration and these qualified people that he's put in place to take the corruption out of government and close our borders and keep them closed like we're doing. But if we don't get this finished to where that is in the law, and that the tax cuts continue on after 2025, if these things aren't done. We will expose ourselves and shame on us. It'll be our fault. Keep your senators and congressmen's feet to the fire and send me any comments on any of the platforms or you could email me at p little p i 777 at gmail. com and remember you might have a situation in your life did you think could a p i help me I've been told that so many times where people will have said, I wish I'd have met you a year or two ago when I had a problem. I didn't know a PI could help me with that. But if you have a situation in your family or business or whatever it might be, send me the summary of it. Let me know what it is. And I'll let you know if a PI can help you and how it would work. And remember, let your voice be heard, get involved, come out in the shadows. And now we're free to talk. You're not going to be canceled. When you come out and let your voice of reason be heard. I'm hearing that from Democrats in California that are now speaking out. They said we couldn't speak out before because we would be canceled. We would be ostracized and maybe lose our livelihood. Now we can speak out and they are letting their voices be heard. So let's stand up. Okay. God bless you. Remember that email is P little P I 777 at gmail. com. Let us know what you think. And God bless you. May God bless your family and may God bless America. Be safe. See you next time.
