What Mexico needs is more guns, duh

[UsualName]

Seventy percent of guns seized in Mexico come from America.

Somebody should tell the Mexicans they’re welcome and that what they actually need to stop the drug cartels and sky high murder rate is more guns.

If we stop producing firearms in the US, the cartels will make them or get them from overseas, duh.

In your opinion, is it possible to get guns out of the hands of the cartels? Is it possible to stop cartels from acquiring guns?

 

[Tsing Tao]

Mexican police and military will still need to order their firearms, and their firearms will eventually make it into mainstream circulation because the Mexican police and government isn't corrupt or anything.

Idiocy.

It is possible to lessen their access to our guns, yes.

In the article there is a whole section titled ‘How guns go south’, I suggest you read it. There’s also lengthy pieces in the article about other countries and the easy availability of assault style weapons from the US.

But, why not argue what Mexico needs is more guns?

Here's a better idea to disarm the cartel. Americans stop buying drugs. Can't buy guns if they have no income from drug money.

I didn't argue the cartels need more guns.

How can you limit their access?

If there were zero availability of assault style weapons from the US, that would in no way shape of from lessen the cartels access to guns. It is a complete fallacy to think or state otherwise. The cartels will simply find another supply or produce the assault weapons themselves.

Do you think that the cartels do not have enough money to buy a barrel rifling machine and a CNC machine?

Wrong. You should read the article. It goes into the aspect of assault style weapons and America uniquely providing easy access.

I don’t understand why in America there is an argument that guns reduce crime but not for Mexico.

Do guns reduce crime or not?

Again, I don’t understand why the answer to gun violence in America is more guns but not for Mexico.
