Washington, January 25 (RHC)-- A U.S. federal appeals court has revived a $10 billion lawsuit filed by the Mexican government against U.S. gunmakers. 

In 2021, Mexico sued six gun manufacturers, including Glock and Smith & Wesson, for aiding and abetting the unlawful transfer of hundreds of thousands of guns annually into Mexico, helping to fuel drug cartel violence. 

Mexico estimates 70% of the guns trafficked into Mexico come from the United States.

In related news, Mexico is calling on the Biden administration to investigate how drug cartels are increasingly obtaining U.S. military-grade weapons, including rocket launchers, grenades and belt-fed machine guns.
