Armsman Being: Another seed of violence


ever read the comments of a man who was arrested for bringing a gun Ak-47 or goat horn on his truck. He said that did not work with the crime but has always been "a man of arms."

It appeared that, indeed, had no connection with the crime but can be a warrior?

What does being a "warrior"?

How do you justify a man bring a "goat horn" in his truck? If it was for hunting, do not need a goat horn to hunt deer. If it was for self-defense is illegal to use a rifle for that purpose.

In the country there are people that do not belong to the crime, they consider themselves "men of arms." It is part of the culture that abounds brave in certain regions.

ends up being a factor that is easily cyst in a strong and macho society, where he handled with an automatic rifle familiarity becomes a brave and energetic in the perception of their social group.



"A man of arms" brags to teach shooting their children early, and both men and women. And as proof, YouTube videos abound of youngsters who, in a seemingly ham, proudly driven "goat horn" on the air until all the magazine.

One of the regions where culture abounds to such weapons is in Sinaloa, where he teaches to shoot automatic weapons at a young age, not only in the mountains, but also in large cities like Culiacan, Mazatlan and Los Mochis. There is abundant this energetic man archetype in the regional culture.

There is another video on YouTube where it is clear that high-powered guns have become an inevitable component in "uses and customs" of certain social groups related to this archetype brave.

In the picture, a couple of grandparents celebrating a wedding anniversary. Go walking around town in a procession that is accompanied by a relentless drum and is followed by family, friends, neighbors and children. At the rate we are leaving familiar with congratulations.

But what is striking is how along the entire route, neighbors operated machine guns to clear the air in celebration. The bursts of dozens of automatic rifles of various calibres, as well as guns, you hear the passage of the procession. And who parade not flinch. They simply turn smiling. Well accustomed to the sound Weapons do not make or blinking. They are part of the protocol.

The video can also be seen as one of the companions is emboldened and belt out a square and shoot into the air to empty the magazine.

should not be surprising that the video was recorded in Badiraguato, Sinaloa, a village on top of the mountain which is famous for having given birth to several major drug lords in the country's history.

In Badiraguato born Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman, the Beltran Leyva brothers, Juan Jose Esparragoza "El Azul", Rafael Caro Quintero and Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo. A few miles away at the Alamo, was born on Mayo Zambada. And beyond in Guamuchilito, born the Carrillo Fuentes.

who was born in the mountains of Sinaloa boasts of being enthroned, bravo. It boasts always fight "breast to breast." These are the virtues that become an archetype, an ideal profile in certain social groups from Sinaloa.

But then forms a thin line between who is just a "military man" and who begins to use these weapons as a way of life. So thin is that line has been crossed often. The mountains of Sinaloa is a clear example.

The cultural aspect should not be forgotten when it comes to combat violence, because there is a seed, a foundational aspect of many of the things that we now suffer.
