(18,318 posts)I have been told that they junked a huge and expensive part of their control laws, but who knows.
As far as Mexico goes, there is a war going on in that country to see which cartel gains the upperhand in running much if not all of that country. This war is based on another war: the WOD. Those who support and continue to support the WOD can better answer your questions about the "tens of thousands" who have been killed in Mexico. In this country, we have barely one (1) ten thousand killed annually, a figure which represents a massive drop since the high point of the late 1960s. I do not include the twenty-some-odd thousand who commit suicide since methodology is fluid (Japan has a higher rate, yet finding a gun there is like finding a cold Pepsi on the Plain of Jars).
I note Mexico's gun laws are highly restrictive. On paper.
