Quotes

"My wife became passionate and so did I," DiPietro said. "We've done a number of outreach programs, we've help sell jewelry made by survivors of trafficking and worked with groups around the world. And what happened was that it started to hit home, we have a big problem here in the United States which you would never think of. You think it's a third-world country but it's not. It's Chicago; it's New York City; it's Los Angeles; it's little suburbs."

...cited stats that showed Mexico's gun ownership rate was 15 per 100 people (42nd highest country in the world), which paled en comparacin to the U S "s astounding nmero uno rate of 88.8 per 100. The homicide by firearm rate per 100,000 goes to the Mexicans: whereas in the U S , the figure was 2.97, the Mexico cifra was 9.97. As for the percentage of homicides due to firearms? 54.9 percent for Mexis, Americans clock in at 60 percent not much difference. One huge caveat, though: the report was compiled based on stats from 2007, far before the narcowars engulfed most of the country. With a police force as ineffectual as the GOP's Latino outreach program, the right to bear arms for Mexicans isn't just some high-falutin" constitutional ideal it's usually the only way to ensure you stay alive
