      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.

      And what can you do? If there is a revolution, the drug cartels will win and take over. Civil War? 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.

      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.

    American people:
    Are you outraged by this video?
    Do not consume illicit drugs, do not buy illegal drugs and you will help to solve this problem.

      If it's not one thing it's another, cartels won't stop doing what they're doing, if they're not making money from drugs they'll just start kidnapping and extorting even more to make up for it

    This is just sickening and heartbreaking to watch. Children are forced to take up arms because the adults are too corrupt to care.

    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... ):

    @ 3:05 a heavy sadness instantly came over me when I seen that young boy playing with the yo-yo. Made me think of my son whom I just signed up for Little League today. With that being said the sadness I felt turns to total gratefulness. To be an American🇺🇸 #FreedomAintFree
