#1 I was unaware that Mexico had a peace movement. They must be pretty effective.

#2 taken at face value, yes. As in most of the third world, no. They have an agenda and there are powerful forces opposing....including the Mexicans who don't like socialism/communism

#3 In most countries the peace movement is good cover for leftists. Mexico should be and probably is fertile ground for social activism. I've not heard much about their peace activists. Must be less attractive for hippies to participate in than OWS - who get more press and don't often suffer from lead poisoning.

#4 weapons considered to be large caliber weapons in Mexico, including AK-47 rifles.

Bullshit, the .30 carbine(AK-47 and it's cousins)
Is a MEDIUM POWER gun, that it LOOKS scary, doesn't affect it's use.
