About 55% of guns smuggled from the U.S. are assault rifles.
Since assault rifles aren't available to civilians in the US, without a $300 per year permit from the feds, for each rifle, any assault rifle smuggling is being done on a wholesale basis. The feds know what's being produced, and arms export is closely monitored, so are the feds allowing it? Or they are being shipped to an acceptable source, who's selling them to the Mexicans. That would make them even more expensive, and doesn't make sense, when Chinese/European assault rifles are cheaper and more powerful.
