CANCUN, Mexico — Two masked men armed opened fire in a bar on the outskirts of the Mexican tourist resort of Cancun on Thursday, killing six people and wounding five, the office of the state's attorney general said.

Public Safety Secretary Jesus Aiza says most of the victims belonged to a taxi drivers union.

Aiza says the assailants arrived at "The Mermaid" bar in a poor area far from Cancun's hotel zone in two cars Thursday afternoon. He says two gunmen using automatic rifles went inside and began shooting.

I would not take an all-expense paid trip to anywhere in Mexico. Why do people still travel there?

We know this story can’t be true, because ARs are outlawed in Mexico. /sarc/

Unpossible, Mexico has far more restrictive gun laws than we do.
And the libs insist that if guns were banned that crime would go away.

Drop the little Streetview guy anywhere in Mexico and your question will turn to complete befuddlement. Cancun, Cozumel, Cabo San Lucus, all cesspools.

I’m pretty sure that besides F & F we, the US, sell directly to the Mexican military around 17,000 to 20,000 guns a year and who knows where those get to.

We always have the best enemies money can buy.

Here is a pdf of Sutton’s book of the same name. A lot of shocking info if one believes the sources.
Details the US and US companies aiding and enabling the Soviet Union throughout the 20th Century.

I went to San Jose del Cabo two years ago and it was beautiful, and plenty safe. Walked around town several times off the resort I was at. Additionally, I’ve been to Puerto/Nuevo Vallarta twice in the last 4 years, all perfectly safe. Next year is Riviera Maya.

If you base your travel plans on something like this than don’t even think about traveling to Chicago, LA, New York, etc...

More of Eric Holders fast & furious guns??

This report MUST be wrong...there are plenty of open border hacks here on FR to tell you how safe it is in Mexico!

This certainly isn’t the first time, won’t be the last.
