If a situation like that of Juarez were occurring in the U.S. by this time virtually all citizens would be carrying a weapon (especially West of the Pecos River, as in the old days before law enforcement worked) and experienced gun hands would be making millions training people to use them. And, no matter how superior their force against the victim, assassins would have to fear being shot before killing the victim or shot afterwards by bystanders. If everyone in Juarez were carrying a loaded weapon there would be a lot more dead assassins, kidnappers, and especially extortionists. There are many sound reasons to be wary of efforts by any level of government to enact gun control.Jose Z.
