Gun manufacturers, including Smith & Wesson Brands, plan to appeal to the US Supreme Court to prevent Mexico's lawsuit alleging that they facilitated the trafficking of weapons to drug cartels across the border. Mexico accuses the companies of undermining its gun laws and contributing to gun-related deaths, declining investment, and economic activity in the country. The companies deny wrongdoing and argue that the lawsuit would violate the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA).
