This has happened in Mexico.

I remember hearing a story here and there, but I don't think there has been anything sustainable against the might of the cartels. Mexicans will have a much more difficult time considering how much further they are removed from military arms and training they are and how much closer to that the cartels are compared to say here.

Yeah, I've read several stories of the locals getting their hands on the local drug lord's guns and cleansing the town. The local law enforcement is often bought and paid for by the drug trade, so the people do what they have to.

I would say the group of "locals cleaning up" is a far fetched idea. Reality demonstrates these oft turn into gangs of their own with mixed agendas. Reality is lots of people are assholes, once they replace one entity they just become the successor, they don't lay down arms when suddenly power is at their fingertips. This is on top of the other issues described with extra judicial killings. If that were in place here for instance, a lot of members here, including myself, would be dead. When all it takes is an accusation, evil is all that prevails.

Jeez, you sure know how to suck the fun out of it.

He's a politician, the voters hear what they want. Then filter out anything else. I can assure you, with the rampant crime down there, being told he'll give back gun ownership. You bet the polls were busy.

Former Sheriff Alderden in Larimer cty ran on 1 promise, if elected. He promised concealed weapons permits would no longer be restricted, given to those who pass the BGC. He won by a landslide, go figure.

Trump ran on banning immigration from certain countries and building a wall. Politicians, more than ever, are emboldened to actually follow through on their pie in the sky promises.
