Mexico Lacks Well Armed Militias for Homeland Security

There is such a vast asymmetric concentration of small arms between criminal gangs, drug cartels and ordinary Mexican citizens that I believe it is a primary cause for Mexican migration north into the United States rather than proud development of Mexico for Mexicans. Just a percent or two of ordinary Mexicans are buy and keep a weapon in the home. Weapons sales (firearms) occur at just one or two military bases and months of permitting are required before a sale is allowed to proceed. Gun ownership is a strong democratic tool for social equality. Lacking that, those with guns and sundry thugs rise hegemonically.

Mexicans have no ability to form a militia with armed citizens to defend themselves against home invasions or a cartel taking over their town. Often police forces with guns are bought and paid for by the deep pockets of cartels. Wages in Mexico are notoriously low and who could expect them not to be with pervasive mob influence in the economy. Being powerless in regard to practical home and community defenses, Mexicans often opt to risk dangerous northern border migrations to the U.S.A. than try to sort out the corrupt political, lack of security situation in their own country.

The lack of a strong second amendment comparable to that of the U.S.A. is the best explanation for why Mexico is perennially functioning in an ad hoc structure to best serve criminal drug cartels producing and distributing toxic pleasure dope for the U.S.A. and the world, and why Mexicans leave to seek better earnings elsewhere. Mexico initially restricted firearms ownerships to stabilize the society in an era before criminal drug cartels existed and society was more disposed towards violent and even Marxist revolution. That stagnation has been the fetid pool promoting the growth of toxic pond scum corrupting the entire society Mexico.
