The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments regarding Mexico's 2021 lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers over claims they contribute to cartel violence by supplying military-style weapons. This case raises significant legal questions, particularly about the legality of such a lawsuit under the Protection of Lawful Arms in Commerce Act, enacted to shield gun manufacturers from liability in mass shooting cases. Mexico argues that a high percentage of guns found at crime scenes in its territory are sourced from the U.S., spotlighting the cross-border implications of gun sales and access restrictions in Mexico.
The Supreme Court will hear a significant case regarding Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit against U.S. gun makers which they claim are fueling violence across the border.
A challenge arises from the 2005 federal law that limits lawsuits against gun manufacturers, questioning whether Mexico can legally pursue their claims against U.S. companies.
