In Mexico, the law governing firearms and explosives is primarily enshrined in the Federal Law of Firearms and Explosives. This law establishes strict regulations regarding the possession, carrying, and use of firearms. The Mexican Constitution allows for ownership of firearms for self-defense; however, only specific types are permitted, and these must be registered. Certain categories of weapons are outright prohibited, including automatic firearms and high-caliber weapons. Additionally, there are stringent sanctions for violations of these regulations, aimed at reducing violence and illegal arms trafficking. The law also underscores the importance of public safety and the need for a controlled and responsible approach to firearm ownership.
