Description
Argentina's illicit firearms market uniquely differs from other Latin American countries due to low domestic demand and the absence of territorial conflicts between criminal groups and state forces. Its illegal firearms primarily originate from unregistered civilian arms, private security stocks, and state force diversions. Although domestic demand remains modest, substantial price differentials fuel cross-border trafficking, particularly to high-demand markets like Brazil, exacerbating regional security challenges.
