    The Spin

    Narrative A

    This lawsuit is Mexico's attempt to pass the blame for its growing criminal enterprise onto someone else. There are a myriad of factors behind the rampant crime and corruption within its borders, which means that, even if successful, this effort will do little to address them.

    Narrative B

    While these companies may be protected by the PLCAA in the US, that law has no jurisdiction in Mexico. It is about time that these gun manufacturers and distributors are held accountable for knowingly allowing their products to fall into the hands of dangerous cartels.
