Mexico sues U.S. gun companies, alleging 'massive damage' that is 'destabilizing' to society

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.

A majority of traceable crime guns in Mexico come from the USA. Not just killing at home, exporting death at every opportunity!
