Registration + Confiscation = Venezuela. Who knew?

"Chavez initially ran a months-long amnesty program encouraging Venezuelans to trade their arms for electrical goods. That year, there were only 37 recorded voluntary gun surrenders, while the majority of seizures - more than 12,500 – were by force."

Socialism cannot flourish when people can defend themselves from tyrants.

A GAU8 might not be too bad either. That’s what they build the A10 around.

Dont forget, our ancestors didn't cower in their homes and wait for Gen Gages men to take their property. They met them on the field and gave them hell.

From the article-

A black market in weapons is also thriving. There are an estimated six million unregistered firearms circulating in Venezuela, but they remain far from reach for the average, non-criminal Venezuelan.

“The black market of weapons is very active, mostly used by violent criminals,” said Johan Obdola, a former counter-narcotics chief in Venezuela and now president of Latin America-focused, Canada-based global intelligence and security firm IOSI. “Venezuelans simply looking to protect themselves from the regime are totally vulnerable.”



Reminds me of something I heard once, "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns".

Statements like that one have to be understood in the context of a nation where ownership is criminal, so going to the black market makes you a criminal.

I kinda want our government to start dropping pistols from airplanes into Venezuela.
