I know this is obvious to many but...crime gets out of hand if people allow it. If a society is unarmed, they have little choice but to be bystanders and innocent victims while criminals battle the state for control. An armed society, on the other hand, has the choice of tolerating crime or stopping it. That choice is why crime is rampant in Juarez but not in El Paso. Disarm El Paso and it would become Juarez overnight.austinrealtor wrote:Honestly, no offense to anyone who is from south of the border, but northern Mexico is a stinking, lawless cess pool in which average people live in constant fear of marauding bands of criminals, crooked "policia", and corrupt military - all of whom are armed to the teeth while the average person is unarmed. THAT is why northern Mexico has the problems it has. I freely admit that the insatiable American appetite for illegal drugs fuels the Mexican cartels, but where these cartels buy their guns has next to nothing to do with the problem. If we somehow made every gun in America vanish overnight, the Mexi cartels would just buy AKs from the illicit world small arms market like every backwards African warlord does for his 12-year-old "soldiers".
