>The United States Supreme Court has blocked a $10 billion lawsuit filed by the Mexican government claiming U.S. firearm manufacturers are responsible for the out-of-control cartel violence and bloodshed that has ravaged the country.
The lawsuit was filed in 2021 against 11 companies with Smith & Wesson appealing a lower court decision that had allowed the case to proceed.
The unanimous ruling tossed out the case under U.S. laws that largely protect gunmakers from liability when their firearms are used in crime.
The court found that Mexico had not shown that the companies had knowingly allowed weapons to be trafficked across the US's southern border.
'It does not pinpoint, as most aiding-and-abetting claims do, any specific criminal transactions that the defendants (allegedly) assisted,' Justice Elena Kagan wrote in the court's opinion.
