    I know the US Civilian population has a reputation of being armed to the teeth and willing to defend home and family at the drop of a hat but truth be told I think that is just propaganda boasting.

    Like I said I have no doubt the Military would win out by a wide margin. It’s just the Cartels would bring about real terror with a message loud and clear “this happened because your government thought it be smart to attack us.”

      Perhaps but we do have more guns than people and a higher firearm death rate than anywhere outside of an active war zone.

      Yes and I think they’d get a gun barrel shoved up their ass to deliver the message loud and clear “this happened because you came here to start shit.”

        I mean that’s literally what the Cartel Boss killing was “payback for the crimes against us”

        The Cartels are notparticularrly afraid of getting bombed and shot at. To them that’s just a Tuesday.
