>>20257738tlatelolco was the reason why the PRI got sisiy when talking about the military and why there's barelly legal gun ownership in Mexico despite of a "mexican 2 amanendment" law in our constitution. (only let us buy semiauto pistols and rifles in civilan ammo, 22LR rifles is as best I can buy, with a lot of requirements and In guidenes of the legitimate defence law that makes defending yourself redundant)
the Elites and the PRI feared that a second mexcian revoution happend and worst case senario the armed forces joined the civilian cause specially in the hight of coup d'État season in the 70' so they foused their priority in police forces of curse underpaid and easy to manipulate to their interest so if they protest what they could do, just fire them without a chanse to hire them again as cops, most people at the time only had middle school education some even elementary, specially cops so they were fucked if they complaint, while the military got the worst part of the boot so the poitician families could safe themselves from the mess tlatelolco caused.
