The difference (Besides Freedom, 2nd Amendment, 'Murica! ) is that minor gangs have TONS of guns. Mexican Cartels can easily bring guns over the borders. Hell, if I went 20 minutes west to the city I live near, I could probably get an assault rifle for a hundred bucks. Seriously, Illegal guns are everywhere and cheap. Banning them won't do jack. People who want a gun are going to get them. I'd prefer to have a gun to protect myself. What we need to be focusing on right now is fixing the mental health system so we can identify and act faster on these crazy people.Here's a thought:
Your military is finished in Afghanistan and Iraq now, right? But you have this big issue of border enforcement in the south. You take your military, and then you stop the cartels.
That, or get a better police force to do it instead.
Well, the Military can't normally operate in the Country without Marshall Law being declared (Outside of Military Instillations and such.) And declaring Marshall Law would make A LOT of people VERY unhappy. Unless you meant invade Mexico, which is another thing that will have next to Zero support. I'm guessing your not American, (Based on your post) but getting "Better Border Patrol Guards" isn't that simple. It's a long border that goes through the Desert. Plus, they dig tunnels underneath the fences, and just go around the sides via the Oceans/Gulf. You can see the pickle we're in.
This is why we should focus on bettering the Mental Health System. We can identify crazy individuals and act before they strike.
