The Chancellor Claudia Ruiz Massieu alerted that in four States of the USA that make up the frontier with Mexico there exists no less than 9000 legal outlets that sell firearms and more than 23,000 licenses for selling arms over the Internet or in outlets like supermarkets, " that endow the transnational criminal organizations with enormous firepower."

In her participation in the second Conference of the States that are party to the Treaty on the arms trade of the United Nations, commented that this facility to purchase weapons at the border translates into the fact that 70% of the weapons seized by Mexican authorities are from buyers or distributors of the United States, and that 60 % of the confiscated weapons are manufactured in the USA.

She explained that between December of 2012 and July of 2016, Mexico has seized 40,000 weapons, 23,000 of those being large calibre high powered weapons, 4,000 grenades and 5.6 million rounds of ammunition.

For that reason, Ruiz Massieu made a call to the Treaty signatories to commit to its regulation and surveillance of the trade of weapons world wide.

Well, what we have here, is another anti gunner playing fast and furious with the facts. Lots of rhetoric. Lots of hot air. No substance.

BTW. BUILD THAT WALL!

Point #1- You can confiscate 40k weapons, but how long did they stay confiscated ?

Point #2- I know all 4k of grenades are former Mexican Army. Most of the full autos are former millitary, either Mexico, or another Latin American country along the drug shipment corridors.
