Check out the gang controlled areas of Mexico where your family dies if you do not cooperate.
In Mexico, regular folks go to jail for merely owning a firearm. There's you explanation for that. In a free society, gangbangers are afraid to show their faces for fear of being shot or strung up. Only with the cooperation of the state (ready to prosecute those who exercise social power against criminality) can criminal gangs rule the streets.
No. The explanation is that in Mexico the cartels control the police and the state in many areas. Part of your response supports that.
Nobody is going to shoot or string up any gang members. Not unless you have a bigger and better gang.
Mexican citizens have a constitutional right to keep arms in their home and in the hunting field.
Many restrictions and much paperwork is required. There are a lot of deer, dove, and duck hunters in Mexico.
And again, where the cartels are in charge it ain't going to happen.
These areas are prime examples of what happens when gangs control cops.
