4 Cops Gunned Down in a Coffee Shop

[Meule]

Why am I not being serious?

USA...gun ownership is legal.

Mexico...gun ownership is illegal.

Yet which country has more murders by gun per capita?

Oh...and Mexico does NOT have capital punishment.

I fail to see why this is not a solid argument.

Mexico does not count as a real country for some reason?

Did you know Mexico has the 13th largest economy in the world and is a member of the G-20?

It's not like Mexico is Bangladesh or Rwanda you know.

Again...what doesn't hold up in my argument?

Of course Mexico is a real country and I know it's not a third world country, but you yourself said

Yet the country is run down by hundreds of thousands of drug cartel scumbags...they have the entire country living under fear.

Now I know there's plenty of drugs in the US, but it can't be as bad as the way you described Mexico, an entire country living in fear.
No disrespect meant otherwise towards Mexico

If Mexico had an armed population...I guarantee those drug cartels would be history.

If very single upstanding Mexican citizen had guns...those drug cartels would be erased off the map.

[Meule]

If Mexico had an armed population...I guarantee those drug cartels would be history.

Or a lot of innocent people would get killed, including women and children.
With drug cartels I kinda have the idea that if you hit them they'll hit you back twice as hard. Besides, what can you do when even the police is corrupt?

[Mikey]

From what I hear the Mexican police and government are very corrupt on average, so add that to no guns allowed ...

Man, i'm surprised Mexico hasn't had a recent revolution by now.

[Hector]

Of course Mexico is a real country and I know it's not a third world country,

Mexico is a Third World country because the wealth is not distributed properly.

The rich are super rich...and the poor are super poor.

The middle class is a minority class in Mexico...it is a Third World country.

If the population was armed...you betcha there would be a revolution.

But that's already happening right now.

Surely it can't be as bad as most African countries, is it?

[Hector]

Mexican cops get corrupted because they recruit the poorest and most uneducated people...and they get paid peanuts.

I believe a Mexico City cop gets $300 USD a month...man...that's nothing.

[Meule]

But that's already happening right now.

Well, I think it would get even worse if you arm the population, especially since most don't even know how to handle a gun

[Hector]

Compared to any African country...Mexico is Belgium...

[Hector]

I'll teach them!

[Meule]

Compared to any African country...Mexico is Belgium...

Why do I have the feeling I just got insulted?

[Mikey]

I think what Thomas doesn't realize is what it's really like living here in the US and Mexico...

In many parts, it really is still like the wild west ... Or a modern equivalent.

We still have cougars, bears and bandits.

No matter how much you try, you can't tame a continent to European standards in a mere 200 years.
