BREAKING: Mexico v. Smith & Wesson (D. MA): Massachusetts federal judge throws out Brady-backed liability lawsuit filed by Mexico against numerous gun companies, saying that "all of its claims are either barred by federal law or fail for other reasons." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… 
"Mexico is seeking to hold defendants liable for practices that occurred within the United States and only resulted in harm in Mexico."
"But the complaint alleges that the violation by Smith & Wesson is that its firearms do exactly what they are advertised to do."
"The public is fully aware that the police and military use firearms. An image depicting an officer’s lawful use of a firearm does not suggest to the reasonable consumer that they should engage in criminal, 'combat-like' conduct."
"In short, this matter did not occur primarily and substantially in the Commonwealth."
