#StopGunTrafficking

[l-richardson]

Let’s lay it all out—Mexico’s so-called 'gun control' is nothing more than a disaster for its people! The country has only ONE gun store, hidden away like some kind of forbidden treasure on a heavily guarded military base in Mexico City. And guess what? You’ll need to jump through hoops—psychological tests, drug screenings, and exhaustive background checks—just to think about legally owning a firearm. But here’s the kicker: it’s all a massive, deliberate failure!

The truth is, these draconian measures haven’t stopped Mexico from being overrun by cartel violence. The stats don’t lie—Mexico had a staggering 35,964 murders in 2018, with a rate of 29 per 100,000 people. That’s SIX TIMES higher than the U.S., despite all these ‘strict’ laws. Law-abiding Mexicans are completely disarmed, left as sitting ducks while cartels smuggle in weapons by the truckload.

And who’s arming these criminals? Surprise, surprise—it’s the black-market pipeline bringing guns from the United States. Seventy percent of recovered firearms in Mexico between 2014 and 2021 were trafficked illegally. The cartels are better equipped than most citizens could dream of being.

This isn’t about public safety—this is about CONTROL. The Mexican government has sold its people out, leaving them defenseless while the criminals run wild. And let’s not forget—the elites are always protected by armed guards. What about the regular folks? They’re left to fend for themselves against an army of cartels armed to the teeth.

This is a NATIONAL disgrace for Mexico and a warning for every other republic. Disarming the people doesn’t bring peace—it brings tyranny and chaos. Wake up, people! The only way to protect freedom is by putting power back in the hands of law-abiding citizens. Anything less is a betrayal of liberty!
