Eight U.S. gun manufacturers have requested the Supreme Court to review their appeal against Mexico's lawsuit, which demands $10 billion in damages. Mexico's legal action accuses these companies of facilitating the trafficking of firearms used by drug cartels across the U.S.-Mexico border. The gun makers argue that Mexico's lawsuit is inappropriate for U.S. courts. Former Solicitor General Noel Francisco is representing the gun companies in this high-stakes legal battle.
