Mexico isn't a gangland because it's hot
I'd think the argument for Mexico being a gangland was more due to economic factors...
I agree some of our laws are stupid, but the problem in the US is guns are what helped free our country, making us nostalgic for the past and unwilling to give them up for fear of falling back into tyranny... even though this is pretty stupid at this point...
Regardless, it is a huge topic and argument... but I was never raised around guns, don't own a functional one (own one I have disabled, it was a collector item from my family's history). I've fired a few... over different periods in my life.. and I'm for the ability and right to own them. On concealed carry I'm a little torn...
