Not sure it’s my writing or your reading comprehension lacking. Elsewhere with sane firearms control (most countries?), petty thieves don’t tend to carry guns. Americans like to beat around the bush when the single worst catalyst for tension is lying right there in plain sight.

Mexico just called, they said they made carrying a single bullet worth years in jail. Rumor has it they have a serious armed petty (and not so petty) crime problem.

To refute my point on U.S. gun control, you point me to a country whose gun violence is almost exclusively fueled by guns trafficked from the U.S. Really strong argument.

Citation needed, because I'm calling BS. The Mexican government used to send serial numbers of weapons suspected of originating in the US to the ATF, but stopped after nearly all of those weapons were determined to have been sales to the Mexican military.

Cartels are billion dollar enterprises with shipping connections all around the world, to believe they're getting their LAW's and M249's from Billy Bob's Country Emporium is beyond ridiculous.
