Supreme Court of the United States

Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos

June 5, 2025605 U.S. 280

Summary

The Supreme Court held that Mexico’s complaint does not plausibly allege that the gun manufacturers aided and abetted illegal firearm sales, so the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act bars the suit. The Court reversed the First Circuit and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
