• Mexico filed a lawsuit against five gun dealers in U.S. District Court in Tucson, Arizona, this week. Mexico’s lawsuit alleges that the dealers systematically participate in the arms trafficking of military-style weapons.
• This marks the second lawsuit filed by Mexico against the U.S. arms industry. It filed one in the U.S. District Court in Boston, Massachusetts, against U.S. gun manufacturers last month. However, Judge F. Dennis Saylor ruled last month that Mexico did not have a case due to protections for gun manufacturers established by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act in 2005.
