Interesting to note the country only has one LEGAL firearm store - run by the military!

Sorry couldn’t get the BBC’s site to give me a viable link to copy...but fasinating video as it state this country is the world’s largest consumer of illegal substances!

There were 33,341 homicides in 2018, according to a report released by Mexico’s Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection. That compares with 28,866 homicides in 2017 — an increase of more than 15%.

Understand, Mexico's population is 129 million.

17,250 people were reported killed in the US in 2016 in the United States.

Mexico basically has no law.

I know people that go to Mexico for vacation. When asked about accommodations you find out they are in a privately protected compound.
