The slaughter of thousands in Mexico are by assault weapons that are made in the good old USA. The United States leads all the nations in the manufacturing and selling of assault weapons. U.S. drug laws, fueled by racism, prohibit the sale of drugs that have made Mexican cartels so powerful. U.S. history should show that prohibition of alcohol created the rise of powerful organized crime. A nation that ignores its history ignores its future.
