They do get many from straw purchases here, which is already illegal can get you 10+yr in federal prison.

But also they get a fuckton of full auto guns that are illegal here from the mexican military's corrupt members, and other sources like china, somehow they get explosives too including south korean grenades have been found which is wild, and the best is Operation Fast & Furious, where the ATF just directly sold them a bunch of AKs "to track" and then surprise! "lost" them. They get em from multiple sources.

Wrong. I don't know why Jay Hulme feels the need to lie but there is more than one gun store in Mexico.

A quick look at Wikipedia clearly shows that there are actually two gun stores.

We had to arm the drugs in the War on Drugs to make it a real fight.

Not sure if I'd really use the troubles as a defense against the proliferation of personal ownership of firearms........

Kinda hard to claim you've been "radicalized" by denying other radicalized individuals the ability to fight off a oppressive foreign government with a long history of genocidal tyranny against your entire ethnicity.

Because screenshots of what someone said on social media aren't journalism:

Mexico has restrictive laws regarding gun possession. There are only two stores in the entire country, DCAM near the capital, and OTCA, in Apodaca, Nuevo León. It also takes months of paperwork to have a chance at purchasing one legally.

Something like 85% of guns used in crimes in Canada are smuggled from the US

The last thing the working classes of the world needs is for the owner class to have a monopoly on violence.

Smuggled? The DEA was shipping them direct at one point.

Restrictive gun laws, but live in North America? Just hop on over to the Ugunted Guns of Agundica and get as many as you want!

Too fast, too furious...

The craziest thing cartels buying guns in America and smuggling them into Mexico isnt that the US government was selling to people they thought were smugglers.

It's that the people at the gun store are doing the same shit people are doing all over the place.

The used gun market is insane, I know a couple people that constantly buy new guns and sell them less than a year later. They don't question why some person is willing to buy $200 over new price for a used gun.

And the way the law is structured, that's in their best interest.

If a random person walks up and asks to buy a gun, you don't have to ask any other questions as a "private seller" and since you can only get in trouble if you know that person can't own a gun, the less questions the better.

The "private sale" loophole makes every other gun law just a slight hassle to get around. But no one wants to actually close it.

Edit:

It also incentives those sales.

No gun store will pay as much as someone who can't buy from a gun store.

So to make sure someone ends up with that can legally have it, the seller loses money.

Why need more gun store when the biggest gun store in the world is right above you? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe per city? I know there's one single gun shop where I live but not for the entire country? Lol

Accuracy of this post aside, would anyone be surprised if many of the cartel leaders are on a cia payroll?

I am not alleging that to be any truth, but i would digest that information like a weather report claiming rain when you’re still soaking wet from having been outside.

The international community should probably do what the US did to set the drinking age to 21, but for guns.

Mexico doesn’t really check vehicles coming into the country either. That’s something they could start doing. I know I’ve only been stopped one time out of maybe 20 but granted I’m not transporting a firearm.
