Quote:You just said there was no one resisting the cartels a few post ago? Let's be real, it's not a militarized police force that prevents organizations from becoming as powerful as the cartels, it's an armed populace. 

 

Where did I say that?  

 

There are lots of people resisting the cartels, but nobody is winning because they are outgunned and outnumbered.

 

It's not possible for civilians to win a war against the cartels.  First of all, they don't have anywhere near the money the cartels do.  Secondly, they aren't nearly as well armed.  Thirdly, they aren't nearly as well organized.  The cartels are #2 in Mexico's gdp.  They are better funded than the United States' federal law enforcement.
