As Venezuela continues to crumble under the socialist dictatorship of President Nicolas Maduro, some are expressing words of warning – and resentment – against a six-year-old gun control bill that stripped citizens of their weapons.
“Guns would have served as a vital pillar to remaining a free people, or at least able to put up a fight,” Javier Vanegas, 28, a Venezuelan teacher of English now exiled in Ecuador, told Fox News. “The government security forces, at the beginning of this debacle, knew they had no real opposition to their force. Once things were this bad, it was a clear declaration of war against an unarmed population.”

WUT!? Venezuelans have no weapons? Well the good guys don’t.
The left wants this for us.
Die on your feet or live on your knees. Something like that, right?
Only the government.
And government sanction criminals, of course.
Those who fail to learn the lessons of history, are doomed to repeat it, or something like that...
Maybe Sean Penn can send them some money to buy guns.
Excellent example of why America’s DOMESTIC ENEMIES want to destroy the SECOND AMENDMENT to the Bill of Rights.....
I have a close friend with relatives (siblings) there. SAD!
At least they are an object lesson to those hoping for socialism.
Seems as though our Founders were some pretty smart fellas.
Too bad the 20th century heirs to their wisdom, rather than respecting same, instead just crapped all over it.
“The left wants this for us.”
That’s a fact.
And no one there saw this coming? SMH.
The problems for Venezuelans who wanted to fight back is their government would have made examples of those who did not or would not comply (probably did). Unless you know for certain your neighbor has your back, you’re screwed. It is becoming less and less obvious that my neighbor has my back. Many would rather submit than die fighting a just cause. This isn’t our founding father’s country any more.
“....Seems as though our Founders were some pretty smart fellas....”
The evil in man has not changed throughout human history.
They knew what they were dealing with and tried to build a country to give life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to all.
Today’s so-called “man” is in for a very rude awakening....the evil is still the same.
Fund production and delivery of Liberator pistols.
He must be king of the morons
“...The left wants this for us....”
Without a doubt.
PeeLouzie, Schumer, and their evil ilk want the “unwashed masses” totally disarmed to be herded like cattle. Occasional Kotex, Hogster, etc. are just too young and stupid to realize what human history is saying...dumb, and dumber.
The question is going to come down to: do, we as a people, acquiesce to their communist evil or do we fight for our freedoms and our nation?
I fear many will die on their knees rather than lift a single hand to fight for freedom. We’ve become too soft and stupid.
