Judge Dismisses 6 of 8 American Companies From Mexico Lawsuit
A federal judge in Boston has thrown out much of the $10-billion lawsuit filed by the Mexican government against eight gunmakers for what the government called “mass carnage” south of the border.
On Wednesday, a federal District Court judge in Boston dismissed six of the eight respondents from the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds. Companies dismissed from the lawsuit by U.S. District Judge Dennis Saylor included Sturm, Ruger and Company, Glock, Barrett Firearms, Colt’s Manufacturing, Century International Arms and Beretta.
