You would think Mexico would have enough crime problems of it’s own to deal with without meddling in American politics, but for some reason the Mexican government is funding a U.S. gun-grabbing group.
The Mexican government hired an American gun-control organization under an agreement making $300,000 available to lobby U.S. officials, pursue firearms lawsuits and train Mexican officials to advocate on American gun policy. Their goal? Gun control.
The organization, Global Action on Gun Violence, has documented connections to Democratic lawmakers. It featured Rep. Dan Goldman in a gun-trafficking discussion promoted in its May and June 2025 newsletters and endorsed legislation backed by prominent Senate Democrats.
A June 9, 2026 Justice Department filing confirms that the Washington-based nonprofit, registered as Mexico’s foreign agent, continued providing “legal, advisory, consultancy, and lobbying services” during the six months ending April 30.
Its work for Mexico overlapped with its support for changes to American firearms laws.
The group endorsed Sen. Dick Durbin’s Stop Arming Cartels Act, cosponsored by Adam Schiff, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and other Democrats. The proposal would prohibit future nongovernmental manufacture and sale of .50-caliber rifles, require registration of existing rifles and create an exception to federal gun-industry liability protections for transactions prohibited under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act.
Its advisory committee also lists former Democratic Rep. Michael Barnes and Democratic New York State Sen. Zellnor Myrie. The organization says committee membership does not indicate support for all its work.
Mexico’s May 2025 contract spelled out the American audiences it wanted to reach.
The 12-month agreement listed “awareness-raising efforts” directed at senators, House members, state legislators and U.S. security agencies. Those efforts included opposing legislation that would prohibit Mexico’s lawsuits and presenting research attributing gun trafficking and violence in Mexico to American firearms-industry practices.
Anything to distract from all the cartel corruption in the Mexican government.
Mexico had retained an organization with a much broader agenda than its own lawsuits.
Founder Jonathan Lowy spent 25 years directing litigation against the firearms industry for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Naturally.
Global Action on Gun Violence has urged the Supreme Court to overturn District of Columbia v. Heller and New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen and restore a militia-focused interpretation of the Second Amendment. The organization described its challenge as a “frontal attack.”
“The battle to overturn Heller and Bruen and reclaim Americans’ rights to public safety starts now,” Lowy declared in its August 2023 announcement.
Foreign pressure is an explicit part of the group’s strategy.
Its website argues that “misguided readings of the Second Amendment” constrain domestic solutions. It calls its international approach the “outside game” and says foreign governments can press Washington to enforce and enact stronger gun policies by “imposing costs in bilateral and international dealings.”
So they’re taking foreign money to promote stripping rights from law-abiding citizens.
You would think that Mexico would have enough problems with crime and cartel violence in its own country than to spend money meddling in the affairs of another.
The anti-Heller and anti-Bruen initiatives confirm what gun owners have long known: Social Justice-infected Democrats will never stop trying to strip the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans, and if they get back in the White House, will try to made good on their promise of packing the courts to undo all the progress of the last decade plus.
Vote accordingly.
