Supreme Court to Consider Mexico's Lawsuit Against U.S. Gun Makers
Briefly

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.
