This is not an attempt to increase security for the ordinary citizen. It is an attempt to increase security for the state.

At root, all gun control is enacted to ensure that the state can control its subjects, and not the other way around.

At least Chavez's government is honest about their ultimate aim.

[Sir Napsalot]

The government can ban but how are they going to prosecute it?

(I am NOT giving up mine. Molon Labe.)

The ban is the latest attempt by the government to improve security and cut crime ahead of elections in October

Haha, you keep telling yourself that, Sarah. Would be better to get a direct quote from the fascists in charge, rather than your own pie-in-the-sky interpretation.

Looks like the only difference between Chavez and Hitler will be that Hitler lived to see these tactics come to fruition.

[KC_Lion]

Problem, Chavez!?

[TYVets]

This is not an attempt to increase security for the ordinary citizen. It is an attempt to increase security for the state.

99% + of all Gun Control Laws are the security of the state.

[Raidon]

Now, watch in year the crime and death rate will go up. Just like other places that ban guns.

Send Diane Sawyer down there to do introspective stories of how a gun, just sitting on a table, can tempt a young man to commit horrible acts. Even water guns can cause severe psychological damage to young impressionable testosterone damaged brains...Oh...and replace the word “gun” with “violent instrument of racial minority oppression”.

[Trod Upon]

This is preparation in advance of Chavez retiring to the inferno. The true believers among his underlings are going to go for a full-on Cuba model. This ban will just make the firing squads’ job that much easier when the time comes.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

This “law” will be the final nail.
