Mexico Has Gun Control

Is it working? Not on yer tintype! Mexican drug cartels practically RULE in Mexico, and they shoot up the landscape, pretty much at will. All with illegal guns. They’re illegal because Mexican law makes it practically impossible to get a gun legally—unless you’ve got a lot of money to use in bribing some bureaucrat into issuing you a “gun permit.” But the cartels don’t bother with that. They just get their guns illegally, and “buy off” the bureaucrats and other politicians to “look the other way.” when that fails, they just come in and shoot the place up. They did that in the town of Villa Union, just about an hour’s drive south of Eagle Pass, Texas. They “Rolled in” like a victorious army. Like they “owned the joint,” which they do, mostly. The cops objected, and an hour-long gunfight ensued between the cartel “troops” and the cops, in which four cops were killed, as well as any number of cartel members. This in gun-controlled Mexico. Does gun control work? Not a bit, apparently. Everywhere it is in force, gun crime persists. Mexico and Chicago is proof of that. But do the anti-gun fools listen? Again, not a bit. The other day, nobody got killed by a gun in Chicago, and that was big news. That speaks volumes. (Steadfast Daily)
