Maybe per city? I know there's one single gun shop where I live but not for the entire country? Lol
There are two in the whole country. Finding that odd shows a very Americanized view where gun are ubiquitous instead of controlled which is the exact point of this article.
Not American and I'm still baffled by that. I can think of two in my "small for US standards" city, in a country with less people than Mexico city, although most of their business is for sports and hunting.
Ask for anything slightly large or automatic and they'll laugh all the way to a cell.
Well even in the US it's quite expensive and difficult to get an automatic weapon. But if you meant semiautomatic then yeah they're everywhere.

Accuracy of this post aside, would anyone be surprised if many of the cartel leaders are on a cia payroll?
I am not alleging that to be any truth, but i would digest that information like a weather report claiming rain when you’re still soaking wet from having been outside.
They almost certainly are to some extent. That being said no cartel works for the CIA. The CIA isn’t nearly as good at espionage as some think.
At this point in history, yes.
I would be surprised if they weren't on the CIA payroll.

It's by design.
A lot of effort went into it and it's a lot of effort to maintain such systems. You need PR along with movie studios, politicians on local, country, and global levels, lobbyists, para-gov agencies (like police unions), judges, etc. It's a business full of people that do what they can to advance it.
The last thing the working classes of the world needs is for the owner class to have a monopoly on violence.

This is the plot of Iron Man
Restrictive gun laws, but live in North America? Just hop on over to the Ugunted Guns of Agundica and get as many as you want!
The international community should probably do what the US did to set the drinking age to 21, but for guns.

How about voting? Maybe that age should be higher as well?
21 years old to be religious. That sound okay?
How is that supposed to work? The international community doesn’t pay for US infrastructure.
The USA are a huge market for handguns and keep for example the European companies in business.
