Supreme Court to consider Mexico's gun manufacturers lawsuit

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a case brought by the Mexican government against U.S. gun manufacturers. The lawsuit claims these companies negligently supply guns to dealers who sell to drug cartels, bypassing a law that protects gun makers from liability. Previously, a federal judge dismissed the case, citing the Protection of Legal Commerce in Arms Act. However, a federal appeals court reversed this decision, allowing the case to proceed. The Supreme Court's ruling, expected later this year, could significantly impact the gun industry’s liability. The Mexican government seeks damages and a court order to stop illegal gun sales fueling cartel violence. The case highlights the ongoing issue of U.S. guns being trafficked into Mexico, despite strict gun laws there.
