Gun laws in Mexico for their own citizens are pretty strict, their Constitution provides for them to “keep” firearms but not to “bear” them as I understand it, what is allowed theoretically is home protection or shooting on own property in rural areas. Also restrictions are tight on citizens without ties to military or law enforcement as to owning most types of firearms. I have had ordinary rural citizens of Mexico tell me they are basically allowed something like a single shot 22 rifle. Many things play a part, bribery of officials, different enforcement in different areas- basically they are at the whim of local law enforcement and roving units of military- as are non-citizens.
