    Bullets don't discriminate. One more reason why not every idiot should be able to bring death in a pocket at the tip of their finger as they choose. A bullet just applies to the physics. You point it at its goal, shoot and then it flies away to hit whatever was in front of your barrel. A bottle, a painted target, a wall, a deer, a man, a woman, a son, a father, a child, your own head... It's as innocent as gravity. But it will still kill you.

With that context in mind, it’s no wonder they don’t want to fall into the cartel’s hands. Worst video I ever saw was a guy being executed for being a “Chapulin” (it’s a way of saying snitch or rival group informant) They cut both the guy’s arms and legs off, and we was well alive for that. And then proceeded to beat the guy with his own limbs.

    @SirVixIsVexed It may be because guns are very highly regulated in Mexico, even more so than say Canada or Japan. Like here in Canada people cns have guns so long as they're licensed, registered and only taken out of a metal case or gun room when they're going to be used. In Japan you can get a gun so long as you have a legal and valid reason to use it regularly. Like if you're a security guard or you're a restaurant owner that sells freshly caught game. Like I heard in Mexico legally theres only a few stores in big cities that sell guns. Even then I heard you have to be a soldier to buy one. Most guns in Mexico are purchased from the U.S. or other countries.

Mexico cannot afford to have a power vacuum. Have America take it over as a protectorate? Right, in 2020... This is not a popular idea, but it is the only practical idea I have, I can see no other way. I don't expect the good people of Mexico to be powerful enough. Oh, right, there's no money in doing this for the Americans. Oh right, there's no money in doing this for the Mexican elite either. That's how it started...

    It hurts so much to see this... And more that it's in my own country, where children should be considered the most precious treasure and like so it should be taken care like one... It's so unfair to see that their childhood is filled with horrible worries like these... ):
