Well -- I think my broader point was missed.
In Mexico -- entire towns have been overrun with drug gangs - the citizens that try to intervene are gunned down or they just leave town.
What we have in America is gangs or gang bangers that are - for the most part - in certain areas of a town. They manage - nightly - to kill each other. But they're not taking over entire towns as they have been able to do in Mexico. The citizens are NOT armed in Mexico. I think - and it's purely MHO - that it can't happen - or can't happen as easily here because of the citizens that just might put up a fight if push came to shove.
