Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Mexico has roundly denied that a ruling in its favor would have any of the repercussions the gun companies claim, arguing it is a case with a limited scope that only seeks to enforce existing laws allowing gun companies to be held liable when they knowingly aid and abet crime.
44% : The gun manufacturers argue Mexico can't sue them under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which bars firearms companies from being sued for criminal activities that involve their products, alleging Mexico doesn't have any evidence of companies doing anything unlawful and is only targeting the firearms industry for being "generally aware" of its products being sold illegally and "not chang[ing] its existing practices in ways Mexico believes would help stop them.
40% : News Peg The oral arguments in the Mexico case are taking place the same day that Trump imposed 25% tariffs on imported goods from Mexico, a move that he has said is a retaliatory measure for the country failing to stop the flow of fentanyl from the drug cartels into the U.S., along with undocumented immigration.
