Since the Mexican government has imposed their version of gun control even longer than has Washington, it is not surprising that crime is worse in Mexico. Much worse.
Raging gun battles between rival drug gangs surge through the streets of Mexican cities and towns -- the thugs having no regard for innocent bystanders. The bystanders are helpless because by law, they have no guns (even at home). Alternately, cops and journalists are picked off when they don't do what they are told by the traffickers. Becoming a police chief who is not on the take is a very gutsy thing to do.
The drug cartels are in effect conducting a civil war aimed at controlling the government for the enhancement of their "business." Mexican border towns from Nuevo Laredo to Tijuana are among the locales that have been scenes in this civil war. But it does not stop in Mexico. There have been U.S. border incursions by armed, organized cartel units sometimes disguised as Mexican soldiers.

We cannot do much about Mexico's laws, although it is tempting to return the favor of their elites who lecture us about our gun laws. But we can do something about U.S. politicians who are openly anti-self defense, or who do nothing to remove our dangerous gun control laws that only benefit criminals (the same as they do in Mexico). We can expose them all.
Keep it up; criminals from Mexico, keep it up---------------your nation will rue the day when Uncle Sam gets pissed due to the failure of your government for not reigning in your rogue elements.

It's long past time for some form of military reinforcement or a Berlin styled wall on our southern border.
it just comes down to placing millitary basses on the boarder. and have the troops traine on a road cut from california to texas. that should be a good deterrent
well yeah, San Ysidro was the flow pipe and we just shut it off. did you know prior to a matter of week ago, 80% of all illegal immigration to the USA came thru San ysidro. its guna get ugly we need the troops here not in middle east this is guna be the middle east.

ill notify chicken little. i think hes asleep at the helm on this one...
civil war...
there aint a civil war going on in MX> its the govt trying to weed out the cartel sympathizers amongst its ranks, its the govt trying to control a very lucrative industry. its tough, but civil war it is not. the cartels only want to control who gets to supply the US with candy, they dont want to run the country.
A full-scale civil war is raging in Mexico -- and few are paying attention.
Drug cartels seeking to keep control over huge swathes of Mexico have been on a rampage. In the past two weeks alone, at least 10 police officials have been murdered -- including the chief of Mexico's federal police, Edgar Millan.

Mexican drug cartels operating along the Southwest border are more sophisticated and dangerous than any other organized criminal enterprise. The Mexican cartels, and the smuggling rings and gangs they leverage, wield substantial control over the routes into the United States and pose substantial challenges to U.S. law enforcement to secure the Southwest border. The cartels operate along the border with military grade weapons, technology and intelligence and their own respective paramilitary enforcers.
I highly doubt that citizens with guns would be able to fight Narco-guerillas. Especially seeing as many of them have military background/training. Even the Mexican police and army can't fight them.
