No... it is difficult to get guns legally in Mexico, but it not illegal altogether.  The state has a legal monopoly on gun sales.  There is one legal gun store in the country and it is run by the army.
At least all those gun control measures keeps gun crime low, though.

‘Ghost’ busters: Illinois becomes first state in Midwest to ban untraceable do-it-yourself ‘ghost guns’

“A child should not be able to build an AR-15 like they’re building a toy truck. A convicted domestic abuser should not be able to evade scrutiny by using a 3D printer to make a gun,” Pritzker said at the bill signing in St. Sabina Church’s gymnasium, surrounded by Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Chicago Police Supt. David Brown and community leaders.

Cory Booker wants to require you to get a license from the DOJ before you can buy or receive a gun

Quote
Democrats have not leaned into gun control measures in the wake of the racist shooter’s deadly attack in Buffalo over the weekend, but Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is taking on the issue despite long legislative odds. Booker, along with Sens. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), is introducing legislation today that would require people trying to get a firearm to get a license from the Department of Justice before they can buy or receive a gun.

The DOJ license would require both a written firearm safety test and hands-on training, a criminal background check and submission of fingerprints and proof of identity. The license would only be available to people over 21 years of age, essentially raising the age of gun ownership to 21.

So if you even got approved, probably a good five years to get your "permit".

Should add an amendment that repeals GCA and NFA. That should kill it dead.

Looking at the bump stock def section it appears binary triggers and similar would be lumped in with bump stocks and thus illegal. Guess that "explains" loophole.

Still examining

All "high" cap magazines manufactured after this bill must have serial numbers

Lets see... looks like we're expanding the definition of a frame or receiver to encompass AR uppers.  Also looks like we're calling 80%'s a "receiver"  Frame or receiver includes: casting or machined bodies that requires modification, including machining, drilling, filing or molding, to be used as part of a functional firearm, and which is designed and intended to be used in the assembly of a functional firearm.

Looks like were killing off home manufacturing. 

Also this could bone NFA supressor builds and the like: It shall be unlawful for a person other than a licensed manufacturer or importer to engrave or cast a serial number on a firearm in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce unless specifically authorized by the Attorney General.

This looks like existing home builds will become illegal if not serialized:
Beginning on the date that is 30 months after the date of enactment of this subsection, it shall be unlawful for any person other than a licensed manufacturer or importer to knowingly possess a ghost gun in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce.

Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this paragraph, the Attorney General shall prescribe regulations for engraving a unique serial number onto a ghost gun.

Looks like existing jigs, fixtures and the like for finishing 80% builds will become illegal. 
Except as provided in subparagraph (A), beginning on the date that is 180 days after the date of enactment of this subsection, it shall be unlawful for any person other than a licensed manufacturer to possess, purchase, or receive, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, a machine that has the sole or primary function of manufacturing firearms.

There's a section that requires safe storage around minors or ineligible persons.  With criminal penalties and forfeiture.

Some state bribes with money.
For each of fiscal years 2023 through 2027, the Attorney General shall give affirmative preference to all Bureau of Justice Assistance discretionary grant applications of a State or Indian Tribe that has enacted legislation functionally identical to section 922(z)(4) of title 18, United States Code.’’.

Closing down any psudo-machineguns.

10rd mag caps with grandfather clause, also looks like maybe transfers of existing normal mags are restricted?  And grant money to purchase privately held ones.

I haven't looked at the whole thing yet, so I won't panic yet. There may be some obviously unconstitutional stuff that will kill it at the gate.

That said, dammit, I saw a Memoria lDay sale on Gen2 Pmags for $9.99 and was thinking, "I've got plenty, but that's what I said about ammo a month before that blew up." Perhaps I should have bought ten or twenty. I'll be interested looking around over the next couple of days to see what's happening with mags.

That five round limit is gonna be DOA. Otherwise good lawyers could argue revolvers will be illegal.

Meanwhile, the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Fraternal Order of Police sent a letter on Friday to Republican and Democratic leadership in the House and Senate offering to help work on gun measures.

Yeah, the cop groups can *expletive deleted*ck right off. They're all going to have exemptions, so they can sit this out.

Appears instead of going after "assault weapons" directly they're going after their magazines probably in an attempt to limit political damage before the midterms and to give the appearance to the left they're doing something . Then if they survive the midterms they'll go for the rest.

True, but we have some more case law now.

As is always the case with politicians look at what they are doing, not saying.  They have their lapdogs in the news talking about right wing extremist courts, and they've stopped even talking seriously about AWBs. Even Biden, Mr. I'm the only one to go to to toe and beat the NRA said he can't  ban an entire type of weapon.

They don't  want case law on what "In common use" really means. At least not until SCOTUS really changes it's makeup.

Home made firearms and mags are much lower hanging fruit.
