Guns & Weapons,Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether Mexico can file lawsuits against American gun companies over violence in the neighboring country.

The government of Mexico claims Mexican-based cartels use American-made weapons for their criminal violence. The country's lawyers are asking the American judicial system to force gun companies to pay billions of dollars in damages.

"This is clearly not what our founders intended," said Dudley Brown, from the National Association for Gun Rights, at a press conference in Washington D.C. outside the court.Gun rights advocates submitted a petition to the court, supported by Texas Senator Ted Cruz, urging the high court to dismiss the case.
