Supreme Court Wary of Mexico’s Lawsuit Against Gun Makers

The Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared skeptical about Mexico’s effort to hold the U.S.’s largest gun maker legally responsible for cartel-fueled violence south of the border, in a case that tests the firearm industry’s legal exposure from gun violence.

The justices seemed inclined to reverse an appeals court ruling that allowed Mexico to pursue billions of dollars in damages from defendants it accused of trying to profit from the country’s drug cartels.
