Aug 7 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Wednesday dismissed
much of Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit seeking to hold U.S. gun
manufacturers responsible for facilitating the trafficking of
firearms to violent drug cartels across the U.S.-Mexico border.
    U.S. District Judge Dennis Saylor in Boston dismissed claims
against six of the eight companies Mexico had sued in 2021,
including Sturm, Ruger  RGR.N  and Glock, citing jurisdictional
problems.
