Supreme Court appears skeptical of Mexico's lawsuit against American gunmakers

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : A 2005 federal law known as the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) was designed to shield gunmakers from civil suits when their products were criminally misused by others.
49% : " "All of the things that you asked for in this lawsuit would amount to different kinds of regulatory constraints that I'm thinking Congress didn't want the courts to be the ones to impose," said Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, when it came to such remedies as gun distribution and marketing practices.
39% : Supporters of gun control argue a high court ruling against Mexico will make it harder for them to go after U.S. gunmakers when future mass shootings occur, if it can be proved they knowingly and foreseeably broke the law.
