The more we talk about social change and politics the more I am convinced you and I should just gather a small group of like minded people and start either our own country or colonize a planet.

 

wow.. some of those pics were really hard to see.

Sad that people can do that to other people over money/drugs

 

Actually the Mexican Constitution does have a right for citizens to own firearms clause, you just aren't allowed to use the guns that the army and law enforcement have, and of course they worded it so that Federal Law can impose further restrictions;

The Constitution of 1917, as amended, states:

Article 10: The inhabitants of the United Mexican States have a right to arms in their homes, for security and legitimate defense, with the exception of arms prohibited by federal law and those reserved for the exclusive use of the Army, Navy, Air Force and National Guard. Federal law will determine the cases, conditions, requirements, and places in which the carrying of arms will be authorized to the inhabitants.

But to blame the rampant violence on gun control is really a bit of a stretch...

 

"All the weapons the drug syndicates are using in Mexico come across the border from the United States," Arturo Sarukhan, Mexico's ambassador to the United States, said during a visit to the Houston Chronicle.

Indeed, Mexican officials estimate 90 percent of nearly 27,000 weapons seized from stash houses or recovered from crime scenes in the past two years originated in the United States.

 

wow thats intense

 

Those pictures are really terrible... but important to see.

being allowed to have a weapon for home defense or hunting and actually being able to purchase one of them are two different things. While they are technically legal it's really difficult to obtain one.

Sort of how DC's gun ban has been lifted but the District put in a bunch of hurdles to actually obtain one.
