Mexico City (CNN) Mexico filed a lawsuit Wednesday against eleven gun manufacturers over fire arms that flow from the United States across the border and into criminal hands in Mexico, according to court documents obtained by CNN. "This flood is not a natural phenomenon or an inevitable consequence of the gun business or of U.S. gun laws. It is the foreseeable result of the Defendants' deliberate actions and business practices," the complaint reads. Mexico alleges that the defendants design, market, distribute and sell guns in ways that routinely arm drug cartels in Mexico, "Defendants use reckless and corrupt gun dealers and dangerous and illegal sales practices that the cartels rely on to get their guns." "Defendants design these guns to be easily modified to fire automatically and to be readily transferable on the criminal market in Mexico," the suit continued.
