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.

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.
