Another month, another record number of murders in Mexico. For the first nine months of 2019, Mexico had 25,890 murders—almost six times as many murders per 100,000 people as in the U.S. Does Mexico need stricter gun control?

Interesting history there. The laws were changed by redefining “keep” and “bear” Just change the definitions and no need to change the law.
The right to keep and bear arms was first recognized as a constitutional right under Article 10 of the Mexican Constitution of 1857.[8] However, as part of the Mexican Constitution of 1917, Article 10 was changed[9] where-by the right to keep and bear arms was given two separate definitions: the right to keep (derecho a poseer in Spanish) and the right to bear (derecho a portar in Spanish).[10] The new version of Article 10 specified that citizens were entitled to keep arms (own them) but may only bear them (carry them) among the population in accordance to police regulation.[11] This modification to Article 10 also introduced the so-called ...[arms] for exclusive use of the [military]... (in Spanish: ...de uso exclusivo del Ejército...), dictating that the law would stipulate which weapons were reserved for the armed forces, including law enforcement agencies, for being considered weapons of war.

Which is why 1911 pistols chambered in .38 Super are very popular in Mexico.

Its not the guns, crime just seems to randomly occur everywhere descendants of caucasian spaniards seem to congregate
"Deadly" is what the MSM-Democrats want.
There’s only one gun store in Mexico,and it’s run by the government.
They must tighten the laws more.
That’s obviously the answer.
Mexico has had only one gun store in the entire country
Does the author not even comprehend that the drug trafficking criminals will not follow any law to take their guns away?
Just this weekend they killed a bunch of Mexican military.
These guys control the country in some areas.
Gun control? Pfft.
My tagline...
What Beto wants for all Americans.
We also have sky high murder rates in areas with the strictest gun control laws.
Funny how that works.
Wonder how many murders were committed with the guns that Obama and Holder sold to the Mexican cartels during operation Fast & Furious?
True. I have a Smith and Wesson from their custom shop in .38Super. After I bought it, at the range, a friend of mine educated me on the Mexico .45 issue.
Experts have also pointed to inter-cartel bloodshed and a tussle for control between the Sinaloa and the Jalisco New Generation as the main driver for the homicides, as factions seek to cement a foothold in the enshrined smugglers’ hub into the United States.
