US Judge Dismisses Majority of Mexico's $10 Billion Lawsuit Against Gun Makers

Six out of eight US gun manufacturers were dismissed from the lawsuit, but two companies remain defendants as Mexico considers its next steps.

The lawsuit claimed US gun manufacturers fueled weapons trafficking to Mexican drug cartels.
Judge ruled Mexico lacked concrete evidence linking the companies' actions to violence in Mexico.
Smith & Wesson Brands and Witmer Public Safety Group still face legal action.
Judge cited jurisdictional issues and insufficient evidence for dismissing claims against six companies.
Mexico is exploring options, including possible appeals or other legal avenues.
