US Supreme Court rejects Mexico lawsuit against gunmakers

The US Supreme Court has rejected Mexico's lawsuit against American gunmakers, upholding a law that shields manufacturers from liability for weapon misuse. Mexico alleged that US firms contributed to the flow of illegal guns into the country. The court ruled 9-0 to dismiss the case, stating Mexico's claims did not prove that manufacturers directly facilitated illegal gun sales to Mexican traffickers. This decision marks the first time the court has addressed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, limiting the liability of gun manufacturers and dealers.
