... with guns. Just sayin'

- _bxg1 6y agoLast I checked the United States isn't an anarchy with roving bands of unopposed, murderous gangs.
- pnako 6y agoWell, it depends who you ask. My original post is slightly provocative, I admit, but I think there is a real debate regarding this issue. To me, it seems to validate the need for citizens to be well armed, preferably before it's too late.
- welder 6y agoThey weren't armed. They only had machetes, "In those early days, we didn't know anything about using guns." I grew up with tons of guns, you don't have guns and at the same time know nothing about them. Had they guns they would have used em instead of shooting fireworks at the gangsters.

- justnotworthit 6y agoNot initially, but now maintained, yes. Safe to assume illegally imported (at least the rifles), and certainly illegally used according to Mexican law. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Mexico https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Mexico) Mexico is an interesting case because it's constitution protects gun ownership, but increasing revisions and laws limit it more than, say, France. These laws were passed in response to a massacre... by the government.
