There is a glut in the availability of assault rifles in Mexico. Cheap pricing, no background checks (Sorry cash only), and no annoying documentation requirements, all courtesy of the BATFE and the U.S. Justice Department through a generous international trade initiative (commonly referred to as Project FAST and FURIOUS.) Sarcasm off.
