Question of the Day: What Is a Shithole and What Do Guns Have To Do With It?

I should probably let this whole Trump shithole thing go. But I came across an article at sandiegouniontribune.com on the current chaos in Tijuana: Control for street drug trade pushes Tijuana to grisly new record: 1,744 homicides. The firearms-related mayhem just south of our border got me thinking. Is Tijuana a Trumpian shithole? And as we’re a firearms website . . .

does the fact that the majority of the Mexican city’s estimated 1.8m residents can’t exercise their natural right to keep and bear arms have anything to do with it? I mean, does the RKBA have any dampening effect on corruption, or does Tijuana and, for that matter, Chicago, get what it deserves “gun violence” wise?

More generally, is it a coincidence that the more corrupt the community — police, courts, government services, unions, etc. — the harder it is for people to keep and bear arms legally?
