Maybe per city? I know there's one single gun shop where I live but not for the entire country? Lol

Are there most likely small illegal shops? Absolutely. But he is correct. There is only one single legal firearms store in mexico city and is run by the military

He didn't say Mexico City. He said "Mexico."

Yeah, I think there's more than one of anything illegal anywhere here on Earth at any given moment. Of course I mean the legal shops. Lol

Accuracy of this post aside, would anyone be surprised if many of the cartel leaders are on a cia payroll?

I am not alleging that to be any truth, but i would digest that information like a weather report claiming rain when you’re still soaking wet from having been outside.

They almost certainly are to some extent. That being said no cartel works for the CIA. The CIA isn’t nearly as good at espionage as some think.

[–] ProtecyaTec@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

At this point in history, yes.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

I would be surprised if they weren't on the CIA payroll.

The last thing the working classes of the world needs is for the owner class to have a monopoly on violence.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 0 points 5 hours ago

Which is solved by ... cartels? Private gun ownership? Terrorist/freedom-fighter groups?

Warlords have monopolies on violence and even that is through terror, not actual power.

The working class is just always so much larger than the ruling class (if it weren't, there wouldn't be an inequality problem to begin with).

Restrictive gun laws, but live in North America? Just hop on over to the Ugunted Guns of Agundica and get as many as you want!

The international community should probably do what the US did to set the drinking age to 21, but for guns.

Mexico doesn’t really check vehicles coming into the country either. That’s something they could start doing. I know I’ve only been stopped one time out of maybe 20 but granted I’m not transporting a firearm.

Downvotes for the truth i guess. Obviously there’s way too many guns but if you don’t even check at the entrance then that’s definitely an area for improvement
