Mexico is a mess. My father-in-law works at their version of DPS and some psychos threw grenades in the building.... I feel bad for them, the common people are terrified of weapons because the don't understand them. However, Michoacán raises some tough SOBs, especially when compared to their Capital.

Cool fact most people don't know:
*Mexico enacted Articulo 10 in 1917 allowing citizens to Posses (poseer) and Bear (portar) arms in accordance with certain regulations, mainly the still present military caliber restriction.
*Less than 10 years later, Mexico decided to subjugate it people, and stripped them of the right to practice any religion. The people using now illegal weapons were able to defend their rights.
*In 1971, 3 years after the "Tlatelolco Massacre" (our version of Kent state) the goverment stripped the right to bear arms (except for the extremely well connected of course) fearing its people would reform the world infamous corrupt government. In addition the made private sales illegal, only one gun store in the entire country (debatable), and tighten their grip on the people; I do not believe there was and "grandfathering" for newly prohibited calibers/guns/ectw

Since I am relatively young and I wasn't even around for any of this, but from what I have heard, Mexico has gotten worse just about every year since then.
