How does the flow of guns from the US to Mexico work?published at 16:39

Part of the temporary deal just announced by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is that the US will work to stop the flow of firearms south into Mexico - a long-running issue that has been a focus for the Mexican government.

Mexican authorities allege that tens of thousands of US-manufactured guns are trafficked south across the border each year, providing drug cartels with easy access to massive arsenals used to fight each other and the Mexican government.

Some estimates put the total at over half a million weapons each year.

In Mexico, it's extremely difficult to purchase a gun.

Mexico is home to exactly one gun shop, a fortress-like structure in a Mexico City military complex that requires buyers to provide mountains of paperwork and submit to exhaustive background checks that can take months.

Extremely restrictive gun laws require guns to be registered with the federal government and limits their type and calibre.

But north of the border, getting a gun is far easier. Mexican officials believe that a large portion of southern-bound weapons are bought legally by 'straw buyers', who then unlawfully pass them on to criminals.

In other cases, guns are bought "off paper" from private vendors at gun shows in states such as Texas or Arizona, circumventing background checks.

In 2021, Mexico filed a $10bn lawsuit against US gun manufacturers over the flow.

Trump will squeeze something out of that idiot Trudeau to make himself look like a hero.

More coke and heroin come into Canada from the US than Fentanyl going the other way. Make them up their border presence as well.

...and just like that, people became nationalists.

Now Trump says he wants all of Ukraines rare earth minerals for further support.

That’s all this guys wants is to take everything from everywhere. Canada, Greenland, Ukraine, Mexico. Trying to bully his way to getting resources. (frank) him.

Where is he going to get 10k people?

I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.
 
In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.
 
Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.
