In Mexico it is legal to own a firearm, but to legal purchase a firearm is very difficult. Plus, there is only one firearm store in Mexico city, making it very hard to purchase weapons. (Which is a good thing) it has been stated that 94,000 weapons have been confiscated along the border within the past five years. most frequently, guns are bought off the black market but people have heard some cases of militias or cartel gangs stealing guns and ammunition for the police force and even the military. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smuggling_of_firearms_into_Mexico
