This is what will happen here when the collapse comes. Even the rural folks and farmers will have to deal with this crap.
The farmer, Mr Perez, is in the center, flanked by his guards. BTW, what kind of pistol is that, anyway?

Mr. Pérez and other farmers say an outbreak of crime in the countryside is driving down food production and exacerbating Venezuela's chronic food shortages. They describe roving gangs stealing tractors, combines, trucks, laser-guided land levelers and agrochemicals. The thieves often resell these expensive, hard-to-find supplies to other farmers on the black market, or for a ransom to their original owners.
The rural crime spree, which farmers say has accelerated since it began about two years ago, has forced some growers to cut back.

I wonder if single shell shotguns are all that you can legally own in commie paradise.
Lol - That is a serious sawed off shotgun. The Dude will need wrist surgery should he ever fire it!
Looks like a flare gun.
That’s what I call a sawed off 12 gauge!
What is the gentleman in the striped shirt carrying?
A .65 cal black powder pistol carried by Caribbean pirates in the 1700’s?
I feel bad for the plebs that just want to work and have a normal family life.
This is Ferfal’s point about bugging out to the country.
All farmers should band together and form vigilante committees that shot thieves on sight.
But... but. .. socialism!
What? Crime in a Latin America country? I don’t believe it.
That pistol is a Triple sawed off Randy Weaver Special in 12ga.
Yup. If it comes here the standing order will be “shoot, shovel, and shut-up”
Never be the last person to realize society has collapsed.
Look for a run on shovels.
Every American university professor should be required to spend an unpaid year in Venezuela.
Do they have the Zika virus?
Pistol looks like a flare gun......duh.....
I say a flare gun. The thieves most likely arrive at night. Sparky illuminates and Gumby fires.
Those shotguns are almost certainly illegal in Venezuela. Extreme gun control has been implemented under the Chavistas.
