There is only one gun store in all of Mexico. So why is gun violence soaring?

I also wonder how many of the firearms that were "originally purchased from legal gun dealers in the United States" were then stolen from US citizens and smuggled across the border?

Or were purchased from legal dealers under illegal conditions (straw buyers)? The dealers could do everything right on their end, and the guns end up in the hands of criminal illegal aliens.

I thought that the answer was going to be that Mexico needs stricter gun laws.

From what I can remember, Mexican civilians already can't own firearms in military chamberings, so that must be working.
