Abstract

The recent surge in illegal firearms trafficking from the U.S. into Mexico has helped empower Mexican criminal groups to adopt highly confrontational strategies, contributing to a surge of violence throughout the country. This article addresses the regulatory asymmetries between Mexico and the U.S. with respect to the production, import, export, sales and possession of firearms. It reviews several important gun laws and explores why this asymmetry limits bilateral cooperation and encourages gray market activity. It also examines the autonomy of U.S. states to regulate firearms, as this creates a diverse regulatory map that complicates any effort to stem smuggling. The results are flourishing gray markets on one side of the border and violent criminal activity on the other.

防止枪支走私到墨西哥的监管挑战
最近从美国到墨西哥的非法枪支走私激增,这使得墨西哥犯罪集团采取了高度对抗的策略,导致全国各地的暴力事件激增。本文论述了墨西哥和美国在枪支生产、进口、出口、销售和持有方面的监管不对称。它回顾了几项重要的枪支法律,并探讨了为什么这种不对称限制了双边合作并鼓励了灰色市场活动。报告还审查了美国各州在枪支管理方面的自主权,因为这造成了一个多样化的监管地图,使任何阻止走私的努力都变得复杂。其结果是,边境的一边是繁荣的灰色市场,另一边是暴力犯罪活动。
