The law blocks gun sales to those convicted of abusing unmarried intimate partners and cracks down on gun sales to purchasers convicted of domestic violence.
On Sept. 30, Judge F. Dennis Saylor of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts threw out Mexico's original lawsuit, saying U.S. law "unequivocally" bars lawsuits seeking to hold gun manufacturers responsible when people use guns for their intended purpose.
