Idiot. That's all we need, a bunch of panicked ordinary citizens running around shooting guns, making law enforcement actions more difficult.Keep your
effin' gun culture and fear mongering to yourself, no one else wants it.

Innocent MX civilians are killed by bad people all the time. The corrupt government cannot protect these civilians. Any MX wanting a firearm for
protection should be allowed to protect themselves.
Mexico would be safer, and the US too, if it's citizens were armed.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Well, there's a great argument for gun control- a gun lover screaming in all caps about who needs to be killed.
Same guy who cheered on the survivors of the "drug boat" bombings clinging to the wreckage being killed, without knowing the first thing about them,
other than what his lying politicians told him to believe.

surabi, Mexican cartel members are terrorizing the country. They have proven how despicable and evil they are more times than we can count. They
routinely post videos of their savagery. As they continue to expand their empire of torture, more and more innocent people are victimized.
Every town and city in Mexico is under their brutal control in one way or another. This is not opinion, it is fact. They have corrupted every
institution. Reasoning with them is a joke, they must be targeted and eliminated.

You keep repeating your opinion about what you think should be done. Anything else to say?

Yes, PBS reported at least 250 carjackings on Sunday with the vehicles being burned. There were many more parked cars and buildings burned as well in
addition to all the buses and commercial trucks burned.
Will the Mexican government recompense the owners for their losses? Most of those vehicles and property is not insured. Is it not the fault of the
government for allowing the criminal element to flourish with little restriction? Narco state and all...Hugs not Bullets must have a separate $$
account to help victims during times like this, que no?

Must be awful to live with your amount of fear Tioloco.
I hope your firearms provide some comfort.

How does someone disarm a device which is turned off and can be enabled randomly or at will and is tiny enough to be embedded and hidden in attached
appurtenances? It’s not as if this is a brand new invention. They have been used successfully many times in the past as the Israelis proved very
recently in Lebanon. If the US is not concerned about individual’s privacy why should firearms be exempted?

Fear? Not afraid, my friend. I try to be prepared. Me pointing out that Mexico has devolved into a narco state hurts your feelings? I hope you can get
over it. As for me, I am hopeful for a bigger crackdown on organized crime so friends and family living there full-time can have more security and the
prosperity that comes with it.
If you are living in Mexico and don't think there is a problem with cartels, good for you.

For those who worry about safety in Mexico, Merida is judged to be the second safest city in North America, right behind Quebec City in Canada.
Property there is still very inexpensive as is medical services and it is both a beautiful historical area and laid back atmosphere for families.
I’m sure there are other areas almost as safe if a person does a quick study. I’ve never been to Tijuana and can’t comment on how it is affected
by it’s proximity to the US

Interesting subject.
Passive pet ID tags last a pet's lifetime, but they are not trackers, rather just ID tags.
Most or all trackers can be defeated, some easily, some not as easily.
All trackers that use batteries are defeated when the batteries loose their charge. So, some trackers are rendered inoperable in a matter of weeks,
while others last much longer, even many years.
Long lasting tracker batteries can be drained more quickly in a number of ways, including subjecting them to cold and cutting them off from their
communications networks, both of which causes the tracker to work much harder and the battery to drain much faster.
Of course, if possible, identifying the tracker and removing or damaging it would be the preferred method.

Cupcake: And yet the Israel’s managed to somehow distribute comm devices throughout Hezbollah organization in Lebanon not only capable of tracking
but also containing explosives as well. How do they in addition locate individual terrorists with enough accuracy to take them out with small targeted
drones? Capabilities presently in use are far beyond what we can locate by simple google searches.

And you know that "most of these vehicles and property is not insured" exactly how?

Hey Nomads!
How about us staying on topic about what is happening in Mexico, particularly about anything spilling over into Baja!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Good point, sorry. Another case of OT slopping over into the other fora. 
"I can normally tell how intelligent a man is, by how stupid he thinks I
am."

were scornful of any least suggestion of knowing anything not learned at first hand."

I'm thinking this is on topic, so responding...
The Israeli-Hezbollah event you are referring to, I believe, involved pagers. Those pagers use batteries. So, the same power source for the pager
could also power a tracker. If Hezbollah didn't know that their pagers had been tampered with, they would have taken no steps to deal with any tracker
or explosive in the pager. In such a situation, even if a tracker or explosive had its own power source, Hezbollah didn't have the pagers long enough
for those power sources to be used up...they can last for years, if no one is trying to disable them.
That is an entirely different situation than dealing with a firearm that you know or suspect is tracked.
The cartels that are sophisticated enough to operate a submarine or engineer a miles-long tunnel under the border, will likely be able to deal with a
tracked firearm.
I agree, US and Israeli surveillance is very sophisticated. But we are talking about a tracking device in a firearm sold commercially. It's not the
same thing.
If someone doesn't know they are being tracked or surveilled, they will not take any steps to defeat it.
Speaking of surveillance, this linked article discusses the US helping to locate Nemesio Oseguera.
https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/new-us-military-led-g...
Oseguera had been hunted for years, with a $15,000,000 bounty on him. I suspect he was quite good at counter surveillance measures.
