Agency Report
The Mexican government is suing U.S. gun manufacturers for contributing to violence, the Dallas Morning News has reported.
The report said many initiatives have been discussed and many actions taken both in Mexico and the United States to curb the trafficking of weapons from the United States to Mexico, without concrete results.
According to the report, that is why the Mexican government is taking strategic and significant legal action against the root causes of weapons trafficking to Mexico.
