Supreme Court rejects Mexico lawsuit against US gunmakersThe decision overturns a lower court's ruling that allowed the suit, brought against manufacturer Smith & Wesson and wholesaler Interstate Arms, to proceed. The US Supreme Court has blocked a lawsuit brought by Mexico that sought to hold American gunmakers accountable for playing a role in country's struggle with drug cartels. Mexico's original lawsuit was filed in 2021 against eight gun manufacturers, but the cases against six of them were dismissed by a district court. The Supreme Court said Mexico's complaint "does not plausibly allege that the defendant manufacturers aided and abetted gun dealers' unlawful sales of firearms to Mexican traffickers". Mexico's accusation was more general, the court said - that the manufacturers help a number of unidentified "rogue gun dealers" sell firearms illegally.
