The president of United States, Joe Bidenreiterated this Saturday, September 24, its intentions to ban assault weapons in the country, which could reduce arms trafficking and shootings.
The ban would mean restricting access to high-caliber assault rifles, but would continue to allow lower-caliber weapons.
With the history of homicides that occurred in shootings in the United States, as well as the export of high-caliber weapons to other countries such as Mexico, where rifles are used by organized crime groupsthe decision to restrict the sale of this type of weapons to the civilian population seems quite consistent for activists, NGOs and the Mexican Foreign Ministry.

On repeated occasions, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) took steps to ask the United States for support in avoiding the arms trafficking to Mexico, just as the Republic contributes to the fight against drug trafficking.
The diplomatic management was led by Marcelo Ebrardby order of the President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obradorin its strategy to pacify the country, preventing drug cartels from easily accessing weapons through the neighboring country.
