A lawmaker’s proposal to loosen gun laws so Mexican citizens can arm themselves in their cars and at their businesses faces stiff opposition here despite record numbers of gun homicides and a surge in public transit robberies that has provoked a vengeful backlash by armed vigilantes.

Residents of Naucalpan, a city located just northwest of Mexico City, are living in a state of “psychosis,” and “terror,” due to a wave of murders, kidnappings and robberies in recent months, according to the Mexico City daily El Universal. Armed assaults on public transit have provoked a deadly response by armed vigilantes riding buses, as well as calls by passengers for more vigilantism, the newspaper said.

Recent car hijackings and armed assaults of drivers stuck in traffic in broad daylight on major thoroughfares in Mexico City have also received widespread publicity.

Against that background, Senator Jorge Luis Preciado has proposed to modify Mexico’s Constitution so citizens can carry guns inside their cars and at their businesses. …

Mexico needs to make two changes:

Death penalty for murder
Ccw for citizens in good standing.

The two should tamp down cartel violence after a few perps get greased.

Mexico used to have a RIGHT to keep and bear arms. Then the politicians began to modify that right to a privilege.

Now it is almost impossible to own a firearm there. Again I said ALMOST impossible.

In the 1968, it was pointed out to the anti-gun people in the USA that Mexico had more people killed with knives than the USA had killed with guns.
The anti-gunners said it was because of the culture of MACHO, which the USA did not have. Well, IT IS HERE!
