The Mexican government on Wednesday presented a civil lawsuit against several U.S. gun manufacturers.
The lawsuit alleges that they knowingly supply the criminal gun market in Mexico, noting that their military-style guns often end up in the hands of drug cartels.
The Mexican government seeks compensation for the massive damage and bloodshed allegedly caused by the defendants conduct.
