It's true. Look at my home country Mexico. Guns were outlawed descades ago, and now the drug cartels rule the country because criminals don't obey laws. Especially not gun laws.

In my Mexican home town a local police chief announced he was going to deputize anyone that wanted to carry legally, and the cartels shot him at 2AM, in his home, in front of his family.

Criminals and government tyrants don't want anyone else having guns. Criminals love gun laws, and will take out anyone that tries top legalize guns.
