(Reuters) – A federal judge on Friday dismissed Mexico’s $10 billion lawsuit seeking to hold U.S. gun manufacturers responsible for facilitating the trafficking of a deadly flood of weapons across the U.S.-Mexico border to drug cartels.
U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor in Boston said all of Mexico’s claims against Smith & Wesson Brands Inc, Sturm, Ruger & Co and other defendants are barred by federal law or fail for other reasons.
