The 1917 Constitution written after Mexico’s bloody revolution, for example, says that the right to carry arms excludes those weapons forbidden by law or reserved for use by the military, and it also states that “they may not carry arms within inhabited places without complying with police regulations.”
The government added more specific limits after the uprisings in the 1960s, when students looted gun stores in Mexico City. So under current law, typical customers like Rafael Vargas, 43, a businessman from Morelos who said he was buying a pistol “to make sure I sleep better,” must wait months for approval and keep his gun at home at all times.
His purchase options are also limited: the largest weapons in Mexico’s single gun store — including semiautomatic rifles like the one used in the Aurora attack — can be bought only by members of the police or the military. Handgun permits for home protection allow only for the purchase of calibers no greater than .38, so the most exotic option in the pistol case here consisted of a Smith & Wesson revolver selling for $803.05.
I do believe the OP is saying that your slipshod gun market is making it our business.

They are if the question is "why are your panties in a bunch".

“Specifically with handguns and automatic weapons, it's generally coming from the U.S. or offshore,” said Const. Ian MacDonald with the Abbotsford Police Department. “They aren't from within Canada.

Just curious, who do they think are buying all the guns being shipped up from the states? Do you have gang problems or organized crime problems in your bigger cities?

How about you have some type of gun control that would keep them out of their hands. More guns is just an idiotic thing..it just means criminals will have more weapons to steal.
Gun advocates are either dumb or are just turning a blind eye to this problem.

I am an idiot? I would like to point out first that I will destroy you in any argument you can conceive of and have done so many times. So I would chill on your hissy fit.
