US Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Mexican police who seized arms could use the system to notify the US who would then target the dealers.
Mexico has been struggling to deal with heavily-armed drug traffickers.
It has complained that its northern neighbour is not doing enough to stop the flow of illegal arms into Mexico.
Mr Mukasey also urged the US Congress not to be distracted by the presidential election and approve the proposed $1.4bn (£712m) joint US-Mexican anti-drug plan, known as the Merida Initiative.
This is signifigant because the U.S. is now giving Mexico access to a database that would let them trace smuggled weapons. This will not only help the U.S., but Mexico too in their fight against violence and drug trafficking.
