The government has come for guns belonging to Venezuelans before in the name of "safety," coupled with promises of lower crime. Both lies. Over to you, Gabby Franco:

You’d think they were afraid of a revolt against their tyranny or something.

And this is why Socialists need to be shot BEFORE they get into power.

I’m done commenting on why this is smart or dumb. Thing is, it is happening, like a massive tsunami. All you can do is predict the results as it starts,and continues, its path of destruction.

My gawd this is going to get ugly before it’s over.

Your family is starving, the stores are empty of food, the government is about to confiscate your guns and ammunition and send you all into the sweltering fields to cut sugar cane so Comrade Maduro and his cronies can sip aguardiente in the presidential palace. If it’s not already too late then it’s time to start cutting some throats.

"We are going to bring disarmament and peace,"

as history proves, this translates to: "We are going to bring disarmament, government thuggery, citizen slavery, absolute servitude for the wealthy ruling elite and the citizens will have no say and if they revolt, we'll kill them in the streets"

CABEZA EN UN PALILLO!

It is way past “head on a stick” time. Especially egregious is the refusal to accept humanitarian aid.

Mao had it figure out. It's been known since the beginning of time:

No Weapons = No Power

Weapons = Power

Guns are more effective than Rocks.

Venezuela used to be one of the richest countries in South America, but the people got fat, happy, lazy and complacent. Then the people forget about their origins and WHAT made them rich in the in the first place and they start voting to use “public money” and “public power” to “good causes” and pretty soon you end up with someone like Chavez in power...

Molon labe! I’m sure there are places in the country where the “officials” won’t attempt anything like this. The feds would have to try it.

I’ve always thought the CIA should have shot Chavez as soon as he was elected.
