Mexico, government sues American arms manufacturers. In the name of Zapata

NEW YORK – The weapon is a nine-shot Colt .38 caliber. The face of Emiliano Zapata is engraved on the barrel of the gun, blue in color. In the background appears the dahlia, a national flower symbol of the beauty of Mexico. On the tip, less than an inch from where the bullet comes out, is written Zapata, for use by those unfamiliar with the national hero who led the Mexican revolution over a century ago.
