Mexico targets US arms dealers for supplying weapons to Mexican drug cartels in 2nd lawsuit

Mexico has filed its second lawsuit targeting weapons flowing into Mexico from the U.S. The lawsuit claims American gun shops and distributors are responsible for weapons trafficking.

"We are suing them because clearly there is a pattern, we contend that it is obvious that there is weapons trafficking and that it is known that these guns are going to our country," Ebrard said.

Ebrard promised last week the new lawsuit would target gun shops or dealers in U.S. border states who sell guns to "straw" purchasers who pass them on to smugglers, who then take the weapons into Mexico.
