Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — This week Mexico’s head of public safety said of the more than 10,000 guns seized from October of last year through April, 75 percent of them came from the U.S. Adding, the Mexican government has been asking U.S. officials to put a stop to the “transfer of weapons that nourish organized crime in Mexico.” Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said this is one of the topics she broached with Trump during a conference call last Friday. The trafficked guns primarily were 9mm pistols, .22-caliber handguns, AK-47-style 7.62mm calibers and variants of the AR-15 rifle. Most were typically sold at retail firearm stores, pawn shops and directly from the manufacturer.
