Only seven?
Sad.

You’d think they would have better gun control.

The attack occurred late Sunday in a remote area (Chiapas) that gangs use to move drugs and migrants from Central America.

Dumb Mexicans. They're smuggling weapons in Chiapas, the southermost province of Mexico, bordering on Guatamala.

Everyone knows the guns come gun shops and guns shows in Texas!
