Wrong. I don't know why Jay Hulme feels the need to lie but there is more than one gun store in Mexico.

A quick look at Wikipedia clearly shows that there are actually two gun stores.

Because screenshots of what someone said on social media aren't journalism:

Mexico has restrictive laws regarding gun possession. There are only two stores in the entire country, DCAM near the capital, and OTCA, in Apodaca, Nuevo León. It also takes months of paperwork to have a chance at purchasing one legally.

So you’re saying it’s easier to get a gun in Mexico than a RTX 5000 GPU in the US

You really shouldn't be spending your money on either

Something like 85% of guns used in crimes in Canada are smuggled from the US

Sounds to me like someone should build a barrier of some sort to keep all those undesirables from the south out of their country.
