While speaking at a UN meeting in Switzerland, Mexico’s Foreign Minister said it was as easy to buy a gun in the U.S. as it is to purchase a “liter of milk or a box cereal.”
Foreign Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu made the remarks to the Second Conference of States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty of the United Nations in Geneva on Monday. She advocated for greater controls by each government on the transfer of arms as well as increased accountability.
In her speech, she held that Mexico is a peaceful nation committed to an effective, realistic and sensible arms trade regulation, holding that weapons for private use are strictly regulated and need a special permit from authorities to possess.
“But these efforts are limited by the thousands of illegal weapons who come every year to our country from our northern border where the largest producer and exporter is,” she said, without naming the United States directly.
Removing ambiguity, she went on to state that there are 23,000 licensed gun dealers in U.S. border states, contending that guns can be bought at “fairs, online and even in major supermarkets in the country,” and that it is “so easy to acquire weapons as is buying a liter of milk or a box cereal.”

300 blackout is a nice round
6.8 SPC may be better but doesn’t seem to be as popular.
I think you can use 5.56 brass to make blackout rounds, which is probably why it seems to be more available.
Mexico has a homicide rate of 15.7 per 100,000 versus 3.9 for the US (half of which is black homicide, and another chunk is Hispanic homicide -- the homicide rate for European-Americans in the US is LOWER than Europe's average rate of 3.0)
I believe you will see a revolt long before you see what has happened to places like Accupulco. You are already seeing the pendulum starting to pick up steam as if swings the other way.
In Mexico, it hasn’t even began to be questioned as to whether the direction the country is going is good or bad
Mexico a failed Narco state can ESAD!
Let’s just ban the Mexican government, instead.
All you have to do is read the first 6 words and you understand this was a globalization standardization meeting or rather a NWO convention for discussion of Agenda 21 protocols. Screw the eliteists. They're always trying to take away everyone else's rights, money, or happiness. Time to flip the tables and let them see the other side for a bit.
Yeah Claudia we want be just like your country....... < / SARCASM>
Trump's wall should have a one-way only sign, pointing South.
She needs to blame Eric Holder.
Indeed, Mexico must build a wall. Or, not complain about the USA building a wall. It keeps problems from going in both directions.
“Removing ambiguity, she went on to state that there are 23,000 licensed gun dealers in U.S. border states, contending that guns can be bought at “fairs, online and even in major supermarkets in the country,” and that it is “so easy to acquire weapons as is buying a liter of milk or a box cereal.” “
FYI, gun dealers have to clear ALL sales through the FBI’s NICS system. I have never seen a gun dealer operating out of a supermarket, and if a sale is done at a “fair” or “online” then the same restriction applies.
As for a gun being as easy to acquire as a “liter of milk” or a “box cereal” - first, we’re in America, so milk isn’t sold by the liter, it is sold by the quart, half-gallon or gallon; also we don’t make cereal out of boxes (though we sell it in boxes) I don’t know what you do in Mexico. Second, guns are significantly more expensive than milk, so it isn’t quite as simple. Third, same proviso as before regarding dealers selling guns.
WRT you trying to interfere in our internal affairs, and undercut or eliminate our most basic rights...well, CHINGA TU MADRE, PENDEJA!!! Lots of the reason why people in border states buy guns - including semi-automatic rifles, is because of YOUR GANGS, that seem to have forgotten that there is a border, and that they don’t belong on our side.
Basically, shove it up your wetback arse.
He should look up Fast and Furious where the ATF allowed nearly 3000 “assault weapons” to be smuggled into Mexico.
That was my thought exactly, really is rich hearing from a clown like that lecturing about gun control laws.
It is illegal for ordinary citizens to own firearms in Mexico. One town actually did arm themselves and drove the drug dealers out. The Federales then came in and disarmed them. The drug dealers moved right back in.
In the olden days before 1968 you could buy guns at hardware stores, gas stations, grocery stores, clothing stores, sporting goods stores, flea markets, order by mail, shipped by railroad. Cash and carry, no paperwork.
But back then America was still a FREE COUNTRY!
Last time I saw guns in a 1980s grocery store was in Tulsa, Ok. Saggs-Albertsons. BATF Paperwork still required.
The problem with the AR in .308 is that there is no standard design. Parts from one brand may not fit another brand.
Mexico City needs to be bathed in the cleansing fire of the atom.
Facts are stubborn things for the race-baiting colored bomb-throwers.
