Does anyboby besides me see this as just another failure in Tricky Dicks "War On Drugs?" When the profit is taken out of the drug trade, the drug trade will go away.

Drug policies and other social ills are not on topic for THR. Keep it focused on guns and the RKBA, or it'll sadly have to be locked.

Sorry. I didn't make myself clear.Claiming guns bought in the U.S. are the cause for violence and crime in Mexico is just another red herring being waived by the Brady Bunch to take away our RTKABA. If we can fix the root cause of the problem (i.e. our failed drug policies), we deprive the gun banners of another plank on their platform. Remember, the anti-gunners have no shame, decency,or sense of morals. They will use any and all methods to disarm us including lies, damn lies, and statistics.

A quote from the article:

The director of the prison in Gomez Palacio in Durango state and three other officials were placed under a form of house arrest pending further investigation. No charges have yet been filed.

This says enough; top prison officials are under employ of the cartels, they are under "house arrest," and no charges have been filed. Anyone care to bet they'll get anything but a stern reprimand (along the lines of, "don't get caught next time")?

Yeah, and the Zetta's where a bunch of Mexican Narco cops and Special forces (zedda or zeta was supposedly slang for a anti drug swat team) turned merc for the cartel, until the just took over some of the cartels.

If we did something like the Portuguese and just made drug addiction a medical issue and tried to treat it out of Resistance (even if we built rehabs and paid for it, there would still be a HUGE net saving compared to the current regime)

My point is that we could eliminate a source of crime and remove a number of the brady bunches talking points at the same time.

Well, there it goes...
