Title: A Story on "Gun Control" in Mexico
Post by: Richard S on January 04, 2013, 09:22:15 AM
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. But by Heaven, Mexico is vigilant in enforcing its "gun control" laws . . . enforcing them on innocent civilians and tourists. 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

What a nightmare, and just so wrong after what that young had already been through.
