But how have cartel operations shaped Mexico\u2019s gun laws? If you\u2019re eager to find out, read on!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a breakdown of the link between cartel operations and firearms laws in Mexico.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>Restrictions On Bringing Firearms Across the US-Mexico Border<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meneseslegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shotgun-porch.png\" alt=\"A shotgun propped against a corner of a porch\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1499\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What Does the Law Say?<\/h3>\n<p>Mexico\u2019s Federal Penal Code outlines an array of restrictions on bringing weapons across the US-Mexico border. Anyone who imports prohibited guns into Mexico without a permit will end up in jail for 3 years and be fined 360 days of their salary as per Articles 160 and 162. The guns will also be confiscated.<\/p>\n<h4>How Is This Linked to Cartel Operations?<\/h4>\n<p>Mexican drug cartels <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2021\/08\/25\/american-guns-help-arm-mexican-drug-cartels-including-cjng\/5586129001\/\"><u>purchase a majority of their firearms illegally from the United States<\/u><\/a>. Gun laws in the US are far more relaxed than in Mexico\u2014especially in red states where the constitutional right to bear arms is often emphasized. Since the Mexican government can\u2019t control or dictate US gun laws, they\u2019ve adopted some of the toughest gun laws in the world to restrict the inflow of guns from the US to Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most common ways for cartels to circumvent Mexico\u2019s gun import restrictions is through \u201c<a href=\"#:~:text=Buying%20a%20gun%20for%20someone,purchase)%20is%20a%20federal%20crime.\"><u>straw purchasing<\/u><\/a>\u201d. This refers to the act of paying US citizens to purchase guns lawfully before smuggling them across the border. This is one of the main reasons why Mexico carries out extremely stringent checks to weed out gun trafficking at the border with the United States.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>Restrictions on Gun and Ammo Sales in Mexico<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meneseslegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bullets-table.png\" alt=\"Bullets on a table\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What Does the Law Say?<\/h3>\n<p>According to <a href=\"#articulo-163\"><u>Article 163 of Mexico\u2019s Federal Penal Code<\/u><\/a>, only licensed commercial establishments are legally allowed to sell firearms in Mexico. Theoretically, any Mexican organization can apply for a license to sell guns in the country\u2014but these are never issued. As a result, there\u2019s <a href=\"#:~:text=Most%20of%20the%20guns%20in,military%20base%20in%20Mexico%20City.\"><u>only one gun store in all of Mexico located in a heavily guarded military base<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>How Is This Linked to Cartel Operations?<\/h4>\n<p>Cartels make a ton of money through criminal operations including but not limited to drug sales, kidnapping, and extortion. In other words, if the Mexican government allowed several gun and ammunition stores to pop up across the country, it\u2019d only be a matter of time before cartels threatened to control them.<\/p>\n<p>Cartels have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-mexico-corruption-idUSKBN1YE26O\"><u>history of bribing Mexican security officials<\/u><\/a>\u00a0to maintain impunity. Therefore, it\u2019s not difficult to imagine a world in which cartels have bribed their way into obtaining guns from \u2018legal\u2019 gun stores in Mexico. This is why Mexico\u2019s firearms laws have practically banned gun stores in the country.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>Extremely Stringent Gun Permit Protocols<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meneseslegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pistol-holster.png\" alt=\"A holstered pistol\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What Does the Law Say?<\/h3>\n<p>Mexican laws allow for special gun permits to be issued under specific circumstances. For instance, foreign public servants such as DEA agents are given permission to bear firearms in Mexico. As stated in Article 163 of the Federal Penal Code, public servants may obtain gun permits by posting a bail amount and proving their honorability by submitting character references to Mexico\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalsecurity.org\/military\/world\/mexico\/sedena.htm\"><u>Secretariat of National Defense<\/u><\/a><u>.<\/u><\/p>\n<h4>How Is This Linked to Cartel Operations?<\/h4>\n<p>Cartel members rarely hesitate to defend themselves using guns. Therefore, it\u2019s vital for the Mexican government to allow public servants to bear arms so they can defend themselves adequately. The Mexican government understands that this is a short-term solution, which is why it has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-61073823\"><u>filed a $10 billion lawsuit against major American gun manufacturers<\/u><\/a>\u00a0to stem the flow of illegal firearms into the country.<\/p>\n<h5><strong><b>Fabian Meneses of Meneses Legal Is Extremely Well-versed in Mexico\u2019s Firearms Laws<\/b><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>If you ever find yourself charged with firearms-related crimes in Mexico, your best bet is to call Fabian Meneses at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meneseslegal.com\/english\/\"><u>Meneses Legal<\/u><\/a>.
