Seems Mexico has the same attitude towards citizens as the US government does.. they can't protect and provide a safe secure community,.. but get all bent out of shape when citizens want to defend themselves..
ah dude,. how about disarming the drug cartel first?

APATZINGAN, Mexico (AP) — Mexican soldiers and federal police kept a tense standoff with vigilantes Tuesday after a new government campaign to stop violence in western Michoacan state turned deadly.
There were widely varying reports of casualties. Associated Press journalists saw the bodies of two men reportedly killed in a clash that began late Monday between soldiers and townspeople in Antunez and spoke with the family of a third man that said he also died in the incident.
The clash occurred as the government sent more troops to the so-called Tierra Caliente, where the vigilantes have been fighting the Knights Templar cartel. The government on Monday had called on the self-defense groups to disarm.

The deadly confrontation in Antunez started late Monday after townspeople were called to meet a convoy of soldiers, who they were told were coming to disarm the self-defense group.
Witnesses said the civilian group did not carry guns, but as they blocked the military convoy, some soldiers fired into the crowd.
On Monday, Osorio Chong said federal forces would take over security in the zone around Apatzingan. He asked the vigilantes to put down their weapons and said laws against bearing arms would now be strictly enforced.

Early Tuesday, a military convoy arrived in the community of Cuatro Caminos to seize weapons from vigilantes who had routed gangsters from the area, militia spokesman Estanislao Beltran told AFP.
“We will never give up our weapons,”
