Gun Control Mexico

Places with tight anti-gun laws are supposed to be crime-free, right? Then how did an American family in Mexico get the hell shot out of them by being caught in the crossfire between two Mexican drug cartels? Among the killed were a two-year-old and a pair of 8-month-old twins. The Mexican government says they may have been mistaken for a rival cartel. Homeland Security Secretary David Glawe said, "The violence and disregard for human life displayed by these criminal organizations is as barbaric and gruesome as any terrorist organization we see around the globe." And this is in a country where access to guns for civilians is severely limited! How do these people get their guns? The guns they used to massacre this family? They got them ILLEGALLY, that’s how! The same way all criminals get their guns, in spite of all the anti-gun laws that are on the books. The traffic in illegal guns in Mexico is legendary, mostly going to the cartels. Criminals DEPEND on anti-gun laws to keep their intended victims unarmed, making it easier for the criminals to victimize them. This massacre proves conclusively that anti-gun laws are USELESS to accomplish any kind of a reduction in “gun crime” and, instead, it INCREASES it by disarming the law-abiding. Conversely, where gun control is at its weakness, crime generally goes down—which is proven in one county where purchase of long guns is at record high levels, while gun crime has gone down 'Nuff said.
