Gun Prohibitionists Using Pincer Strategy with Reports on U.S. Arms in Mexico - Ammoland.com
“They were under siege by a Mexican cartel. Now these civilians fight back with AK-47s and grenades,” The Washington Post reports. “Residents in the Mexican central state of Guerrero are setting up self-defense patrols to keep a powerful cartel out of their mountain towns.”
That’s a good thing, right? Citizens who want to live their lives banding together to defend themselves against evil oppressors? That’s not why they’re posting this.
Because while it seems like the overwhelmed and outgunned Mexican citizens – who can’t rely on the government for justice – fighting for self-defense, freedom, and survival, are doing what any decent human being unwilling to live as a victim or a slave would do, that’s not the point of this story. So, the WaPo feigns understanding and objectivity but then shapes a narrative.
By lumping defenders in with “local gangs and vigilante groups, many of which are allied with the larger cartels,” and noting “Because Mexico has strict gun control laws, the vast majority of arms in Mexico are smuggled from the U.S. by cartels,” they’ve just been redefined as part of the “problem,” their motives notwithstanding. And the larger problem, per a prohibitionist narrative that keeps being recycled, is the carnage is caused by American weaponry being smuggled into Mexico, and that’s all due to the Second Amendment and “lax U.S. gun laws.”

Supreme Court Asked to Stop New York’s Lawfare End-Run Around PLCAA - Ammoland.com
The fight over New York’s gun-industry liability law is getting bigger, and the message now reaching the U.S. Supreme Court is hard to miss: this is not just a trade dispute, and it is not just another blue-state consumer protection case dressed up in legal jargon. According to two major amicus briefs filed in support of certiorari in National Shooting Sports Foundation, Inc. v. Letitia James, New York is trying to do through lawfare what anti-gun politicians have failed to do through the normal legislative process—use the courts to choke off the lawful commerce in arms.
One of those briefs comes from the National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation, American Suppressor Association, and Independence Institute. The other comes from Montana and 23 additional states. Together, they make a serious and layered argument:
New York’s statute is an attempt to sidestep the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), revive the same kind of junk litigation Congress barred in 2005, and let one hostile state pressure gun makers and sellers across the country to live under New York’s anti-gun policies.
