As President Barack Obama leads the charge against American gun ownership Mexican citizens increasingly are embracing firepower for self-defense.

 

The inability of the Mexican government to protect its good citizens from the drug cartels and their associated violence has resulted in rural areas "to take up arms and police their own communities" as reported by Karla Zabludovsky for The New York Times: "the spread of drug and organized crime gangs into remote regions in recent years has worsened the sense of lawlessness there."

 

Ineffective law enforcement against the drug cartels extends over the border into the United States, and establishes why meddling politicians should not take away the right to own semi-automatic so-called assault rifles and high capacity magazines which are needed for protection.
