Mexican gun control

[PaulB47]

Fred weighs in:

In a recent example in Mexico City (this from newspaper accounts) four robbers, armed, boarded a public bus and collected wallets and cell phones from the passengers. One passenger drew a pistol and shot all four, killing one. The other three, badly wounded, got off the bus. The passenger followed, finished them off, gave the loot back to the other passengers, and disappeared into the city. Curiously, not one of the passengers was able to describe him. Maybe they were not paying attention.

Even if the passengers did describe him.
Think the Federales are going to put out an APB for a Hispanic male approximately 5 foot 8 inches tall with dark hair last seen in Mexico city?

Gun ownership is recognized in the Mexican constitution, which also allows the government to regulate the type, condition, etc. Unfortunately, there is only one legally operating gun store in Mexico - located on a military base in Mexico City.

I mentioned to a friend in Mexico that I had seen a number of shotgun hulls while out hiking in the Baja desert. When I said 'I thought you guys couldn't have guns" he responded 'sure we can. We just can't admit it without getting a whole lot of unwelcome attention.' He said it was hard to get ammunition for some older rifles that had been passed down through the family, but that .22lr, 9mm, 12 and 20 gauge were not hard to get - expensive, but still the easiest to find.

Yeah they just have guns purchased from the US and it's relaxed gun laws flowing across the border.

Thats where they get the full auto AKs, grenades, and RPGs.
