“only about 1% of Mexicans are legally licensed”

That explains it...

Criminals prefer unarmed victims.

Apparently they are just the kind of next-door neighbors the RATS want too.

Licensed? So that’s why some Mexicans ask other Mexicans, “Hey, mon. Do you have a license to be a Mexican?

How about filling that out a little.

“Mexico has extremely restrictive laws regarding gun possession. There is only one gun store in the entire country, and it takes months of paperwork to have a chance at purchasing one legally.[3]”

I left out an end quote in that little hypothetical sentence, but you see.

“Mexico has extremely restrictive laws regarding gun possession.”

If you were a politician in mexico, would you feel safe in a country with roving mobs of poor armed mexicans?

It’s not just the voters the Rats want.

Have you ever noticed the money Mexican politicians and police chiefs have? If the Rats bring in MS-13 and drug cartels and disarm us, the Rat and RINO politicians and big city chiefs can make hellish amounts of money.

In addition to the power, they want the money of a Mexican-style country.

Immigrants from south of the border need to understand that if they vote for a Democrat, they are voting to turn the US into the same $h1+h0le they came from. Look no further than LA, San Francisco, Chicago and Baltimore.

Definitely not. It was dangerous even for young American Gringos to drive very far south in Mexico back in the '70s.

Talking about eastern Mexico between the Gulf and the west Texas border, BTW. Don’t know about Tijuana back then.

Wonder how many murders Holder was responsible for when he sent guns across the border?

That is, don’t know how it was back then to enter through Tijuana and try to drive way south. People from Chihuahua State and to the west of there seemed more friendly to me while meeting many of them in Colorado. East of Chihuahua was something else, and towards the south from the east side of Mexico was pretty scary. Going south, cops told us to turn back. They said that even some of the police to the south might plant us next to the road.

GREAT talking point to promote SELF DEFENSE. Not even in your own HOUSE can you have a gun in Mexico, to defend yourself from intruders...THIS is being posted in Mexico. We KNOW what we are talking about.

I used to drive to various points in Baja in the 80s and never had issues other than corrupt cops in TJ stealing my beer money. Most states in mexico seen reasonable in the daylight. Michoacan and Chiapas are down right terrifying at night, though it is a generally bad idea to drive anywhere in mexico at night.

The big problem with guns is not the legally sold guns, but weapons acquired through the black market...that is, stolen or home made (such as the one the latest high profile shooter used). Gang bangers do not buy their weapons legally from legal sources.

Interestingly, when Trump entered into talks with the Dems, one of the first things they said was that the gang databases could not be used. So I guess gang members - none of whom get their guns legally anyway - are a big Dem constituency.
