The US Supreme Court has agreed to review a federal appeals court ruling that revived a case involving Mexico's lawsuit against gun manufacturers and distributors. The case centers around allegations that these entities facilitated the flow of firearms to drug cartels. The trial judge initially dismissed the case citing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, a law that typically shields firearm manufacturers and distributors from civil liability for the criminal use of their products.
Among the 13 cases granted by the Supreme Court, other disputes include issues related to reverse discrimination, storage of spent nuclear fuel, and DNA testing for a death row inmate. The court's docket also includes cases on President Joe Biden's regulation of 'ghost guns' and vaping.
