Mexico appeals to sue U.S. gun makers for $10B, citing cartel violence; 28 U.S. AGs oppose.

Mexico is suing U.S. gun manufacturers for $10 billion, blaming them for drug cartel violence. A federal court dismissed the lawsuit, but Mexico appealed, arguing an exception under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. Now, 28 U.S. attorneys general and other groups have asked the Supreme Court to reverse the appeal, arguing that U.S. manufacturers aren't responsible for Mexico's violence and that the case misinterprets legal norms around liability.
