The Mexican violence simply affirms that gun control laws don't work - if anything, they lead to more violence. Mexico's almost-total prohibition only applies to the otherwise law-abiding.

I doesn't matter.

These cartels have automatic weapons/machine guns, grenades, RPGs, armored vehicles etc. I don't think a citizen with a handgun or even an assault weapon would be able to compete with that. If the Mexican military can't control them-what makes you think even a well armed citizen could?

You've seen too many Rambo movies. It doesn't work like that in real life.
