Mexico.... a case of gun control and an unarmed population....

[2aguy]

Mexico has a 2nd Amendment....they just don't allow the citizens to exercise it, the army controls the only gun store in the country......that is exactly what anti-gunners here would like to do......and it has led to massive crime and murder rates...as the drug cartels and their allies in the police and millitary have murdered 200,000 people since 2006...

Record-breaking 'Official' Mexican Crime Stats Ignore Cartel Violence

A new report by Mexico’s National Public Security System (SESNSP) reports that from January to May 2017, state officials recorded more than 18,880 homicides, 586 kidnappings, and 2,480 cases of extortion. The new statistics mark May as the deadliest month in recent history with 2,186 official murders, resulting in 3,998 victims. The statistics only date back to the late 1990s, but provide a glimpse into how violence appears to be surpassing all previously recorded years.

/---- Good news. The Mexican people are fighting back.
The Mexican state of Michoacan is facing a unique set of problems. Over the past year, an uprising of armed citizens has taken on a powerful drug gang and pushed them back. The role of the authorities is murky, but now the federal government has to decide how to bring this private war under control.
Mexican citizens take the drug war into their own hands

Is it any wonder millions of Mexicans have come to the USA?

Mexico, like so many nations the world over, has a government controlled by criminals. Yet, people still think government is needed and good. It's so crazy!!!
