"Appeals Court Resurrects Mexico's $10 Billion Lawsuit Against US Gunmakers"

A federal appeals panel in Boston has ruled that Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers can proceed, reversing a lower court's dismissal based on a federal law providing immunity from some lawsuits. The lawsuit, filed in 2021, alleges that the companies should be held liable for the trafficking of half a million guns across the border annually, some of which were used in murders. The decision is seen as a significant setback for the gun industry and a milestone in holding them accountable, while critics argue that Mexico should focus on enforcing its own laws.
