A Massachusetts District Court Judge has dismissed Mexico’s $10 billion lawsuit against six out of the eight named American gun manufacturers that the country argues are responsible for firearms flooding south across the U.S.-Mexico border.

Initially filed in 2021, Mexico argued that the U.S. companies, all of which have denied wrongdoing, were undermining Massachusetts’s strict gun laws by selling weapons they knew had a chance of being smuggled across the border.
