"To be sure, some criminal actors in the U.S. are smuggling small arms across the border."

I have no doubt that this is true also. However, I suspect a majority of these weapons are being purchased by ordinary, everyday Mexican citizens that can afford them. For their own protection from these vicious psycho drug gangs. These Mexican drug gangs are akin to the Columbian drug gangs of the 80's.

Ordinary, everyday Mexicans can also be thrown in jail for 5+ years for owning even one bullet. The laws south of the border do NOT allow 'the people' to protect themselves. The right to self-protection is a luxury we take for granted all too often.
