Soaring crime in Caracas throughout 2014 has given it the unenviable ranking of second most violent city in the world, with a murder rate of 155 for every 100,000 inhabitants, according to Mexican NGO Security, Justice, and Peace. In the Venezuelan capital, not even the state’s security forces are safe: during the first 29 days of 2015, criminals murdered 13 of the city’s uniformed officers. Circumstances varied, but in the majority of cases, the perpetrators killed police to steal their firearms.
“The criminal sees the policeman not as a figure of authority, but as an equal, and he doesn’t respect his equals,” Elisio Guzmán, Miranda State police (Polimiranda) chief, with 40 years in the force, told the PanAm Post.
“Killing a state official gives the criminal prestige within his criminal gang, and also the chance to easily obtain a firearm.”

Something the Gun grabbers should be well aware of but chose to ignore (along with logic and the rest of reality) in their incessant efforts to empower the Criminals/Government over the law-abiding citizenry.
Please bookmark for future reference whenever you come across a self-righteous nahbob gun grabber who has the foolish idea that taking guns away from all civilians will keep them safe. A nation sized “Gun-Free” zone has the same effect as a localized version – it merely disarms the people you don’t have to worry about and Empowers the Criminals and the Government… or the Criminals IN the Government

Obama and Holder are obviously radicalizing the Black community to incite anger hatred and violence against police officers.
They are also trying to restrict access to firearms.
Perhaps they are looking to develop the dynamic of criminals killing cops to get their weapons in the US, even though it seems that simply killing cops for the sake of killing cops alone is enough already.

I’m guessing that Venezuela has what we would call “strict gun-control laws.”
This is what happens when a bus driver tries to run a police state....
That they do - and surprise!, surprise!
‘Gun violence’ hasn’t gone away - another example of a failure of a “Gun-Free” zone.
They did that in Paris - and see what happened there.
Maybe the best solution would taking the gun away from the criminals and terrorists..... nah! that’s too tough, let’s just take them away from the people who aren’t going to use them wrongly in the first place... yeah, that makes a lot of sense..
Won’t be long until the “good” guy needs to take such drastic measures to obtain a gun to protect his family.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” John F. Kennedy
Exactly.
They’re just doing what we would do if the blue helmets started showing up in our neighborhoods.
Yes, and that why the Allies dropped those Liberator ‘pistols’ behind the lines.
