So you think the revenue will remain the same? :lamo
If they don't pay fees and taxes? Probably more revenue.

They want total control.
It is not a "gun violence problem", anymore than Afghanistan's issues can be boiled down to gun or bomb violence, Superfly. Mexico suffers from rampant state capture. In certain areas, if you are a government official and you do not want to do as the cartel tells you, they will kill you and your whole family, and little can be done to stop them. You take your orders and your bribe money from the Cartels, and if you don't, you die.

Thats not an ideology.
What political ideology are they trying to push?

So don't buy from them.
legalzing it has done more good than bad, it isn't federally legal yet....
It hasn't stopped the killing...............has it?
Gosh.......you soooooo smaaaart!
Neither is Islam
A clear and simple solution to a complex problem. And I have little doubt that you are familiar with the H.L. Mencken quote, that "for every complex problem there is a solution that is clear, simple and wrong." If your argument is that these violent criminal organizations will simply die on the vine if we simply legalize their illicit products, that is belied by all evidence on the ground. When a massive, well-organized and brutally violent criminal organization which has spent years engaging in state capture and seeings to embed itself into every facet of economic activity in a country through extortion, racketeering and murder, do you honestly think they are going to peacefully relinquish that control?
Who said it'll stop the killing?
The topic of the thread is cartel violence.
Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.
Are you trolling, or are you going to just act stupid for your next 30 posts?
Why would Mexico want our help? We can't even control our own gun violence problems.
What they want is for us to stop supplying the cartels with weapons by strengthening our gun laws.
What political ideology are they trying to push?
I didn't realize the black market equals turf wars, drug wars and the murders of thousands of people.
Should our gun laws be as strict as Mexico's?
If you didn't, then you've never paid any attention.
Here in America?
Religion is a type of ideology.
Anywhere there's a black market.
