Well good news, the main providers of illegal firearms to Mexico is people from the USA so this solves that problem as well.

It solves the problem of giving them more guns and territory to claim? Cool idea!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

No.

The problem is solved by no longer allowing random people to buy heavy weapons. That is legal in the US, still, but with this proposal that would no longer exist

But there's already millions of guns out there that won't be going anywhere

Yeah, that problem will solve itself over a few years. The combination of ammo and the guns themselves being illegal makes it very hard for anyone but the craziest gun nut to own them.

I do not think you have thought this through my friend
