The Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously blocked the Mexican government from proceeding with an unusual lawsuit that sought to hold major U.S. firearms manufacturers accountable for gun violence in that country.

The justices reversed an appeals court ruling, saying gunmakers are generally protected from liability and that Mexico had failed to show U.S. companies intentionally participated in illegal sales to drug cartels.

“Mexico’s complaint does not plausibly allege” that the gun manufacturers “aided and abetted gun dealers’ unlawful sales of firearms to Mexican traffickers,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote for the court.

Unanimous decision states this was not even close to reasonable.

The plaintiffs should have some liability to pay the costs for the defense and the courts that allowed it to move up should have their heads examined.

If Kagan and Sotomayor agree with the gun makers, it’s pretty much impossible to argue otherwise.
