The Impact of American Guns on Violence in Mexico
Nubia Zulma Nieto Flores 한국라틴아메리카학회 2021 라틴아메리카연구 Vol.34 No.2
Thousands of Mexican people have been killed by firearms and heavy weaponry. The guns used are mostly imported from the United States. The laxity of American gun laws is a gift for Mexican criminal groups. The present text is based on the following questions: Why is the guns and ammunition industry so powerful in the US? Is there any correlation between laxity of American guns laws and the increase of crime in Mexico? Have organised crime and violence levels increased in Mexico due to the accessibility of guns? Is it more important to increase of business with the US firearms sector, rather than to protect the wellbeing of the population? Does the US government bear responsibility for the development of violence and criminality in Mexico? In the following analysis of the role of the American gun manufacturing, trade, and US public policies contributing to the development of narcotics trafficking and violence in Mexico, the central hypothesis considers a preliminary correlation between prevalence of firearms and increase of violence in Mexico. Presenting a general view of the gun industry in the US reveals the social, political and economic consequences of the illegal weaponry traffic from US into Mexico, and the bilateral responsibility of the US and Mexico.
