Marvel Meets Mexican Cartels?

Mexico legalizes vigilantism, leading to the capture of a cartel (the Knights Templar). As great as that sounds, there is a lot to consider in this legal vigilantism.

As u/Tapionski points out via Reddit:

1. Vigilantes will have to register their names to the defense department
2. They will be allowed to keep their weapons as long as they register them with the army

With a historically corrupt government such as the Mexican one, the likelihood of this list of registered vigilantes sound like it will eventually backfire.  Officials will likely leak the list to cartels, resulting in an enormous trap.

One fascinating thing to note, Marvel (yes the Comic publisher owned by Disney), covers a similar story in their series, 'Civil War'.

In it, the US government proposes the 'Superhuman Registration Act', legislation that would require registration of any person with superpowers (read: registered vigilantes).  What results is a fascinating political plotline and a bloodbath of superheros, civilians, and more.

The analogy may not be perfect, but something to consider as the Mexican government moves into the grey area of legal vigilantism.  Is this for the greater good? And if vigilantism does eventually win out amongst the cartels, what will be built in its ashes?
