Well guys, Mexico is pretty f*cked up right now. In a village in Guerrero where people have been terrorized by local gangs, kids as young as six are being given firearms and trained how to use them, or, according to some, "the cartels will kill them like little chickens." But is giving guns to children a good idea, or just a short-sighted solution to a more complex problem. My friend Eli Sairs and I get to the bottom of this. Then my friend Maria Guido calls in, a social worker who specializes in juvenile justice and early childhood trauma to provide her professional opinion.
