A Story on "Gun Control" in Mexico

[Richard S]

What happened to this veteran is outrageous in so many ways. Mexico is rapidly approaching the status of a failed state due to the violence of the drug cartels.

Meanwhile, thugs rule not only the streets in many cities but also the prisons.

I say this cautiously but with sincerety. If he had been passing thru New Jersey he would have also been in jail with problems of a different sort from state/local gov'ts, minus the chains and beheading threats of course. If it were not for The Constitution, which seperates us from just about every other nation in the world, we would also be like Mexico. R
