New Year, Old Problems

So, in our first entry for SSDY, here's a lovely article on the only legal gun store in Mexico. I'm sure the WaPo would love for me too draw a different conclusion about the whole mess, but they spoiled it at the end with the following:

Alberto Islas, a security expert based in Mexico, said it is common knowledge that the easiest way for the average citizen to buy a gun is to ask a friendly local police officer.

"The cop will bring it to your house and show you how to load it," Islas said. "Of course, it is technically illegal."

One legal gun store, but the cops are dealing guns illegally? Yeah, those US gun laws are really the problem, guys.
