Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- “The goal of Socialism is Communism.” ~ Vladimir Ulyanov (Vladimir Lenin)
“Gun Control,” Down South:
Five years ago, shortly after he took power in Venezuela, self-proclaimed Socialist, Nicolas Maduro, precipitously outlawed all private ownership of guns, as well as transfers of guns. All privately-owned guns were to be immediately “turned-in.”
Few were!
Shouting, “We are going to bring disarmament and peace,” Interior Minister Nestor Reverol has since staged a number of Stalinist-style gun-confiscation events, to the cheers of anti-gun politicians around the world, including some here in the USA.
Now, just five years later, Maduro, labeling all political opponents “imperialist aggressors,” has decided to reverse himself and actually start issuing military small arms to untrained civilians, but only to his supporters, whom he has now promoted to the rank of “Militiamen!”
“A gun for every ‘Militiaman,’” he is now saying (with a straight face), doing a wonderful imitation of Mussolini, who did the identical thing.
This newly-formed army of modern-day “Blackshirts” will, of course, be expected to threaten, intimidate, herd into gulags, and ultimately murder all who fail to adulate Maduro and his every move.
Those who hesitate, will quickly find themselves on the “wrong side” of the political fence!
Are we paying attention?
The foregoing is where the wet-dream of “gun-control” fits-in with overall objectives of all crypto-Marxists. It always ends-up in the same place!
Only naive liberals claim (falsely) to be “surprised.” The rest of us surely aren’t!
“The worst enemies of new radicals are old liberals!” ~ Lenin, again…

Venezuela has been turned into a hole in the ground covered by an outdoor toilet.
Remember, the U.S. Supreme Court has already stated that private gun ownership is to a certain degree a constitutional right. And this wasn’t just yesterday. The Supreme said that back in 2008. As for a fear about a total gun ban, you have to take in consideration that particular high court ruling (remember DC v. Heller).
@Oldv, you may have something there. Maybe Francis does not even live in the U.S. Maybe he/she is an outsider just trying to manipulate Americans’ opinions.
Seems Farman fears something already prohibited by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Mr. Farnam, as always, Your compendious posting “speaks” volumes! And , as always, Thank You.

Francis, how can you help a country with their economy when their government has pretty much ran into the ground all the industries that where there, have taken over external companies that helped with their economy. Helping them would like giving money to the tyrant to continue to oppress the people.. There’s only one solution and the people are doing the best they can with what they got at their disposal at the moment. If you read the article it clearly states that the tyrant disarmed the populace to prevent an armed revolt which is what is really needed to… Read more »
Venezula’s economy is in trouble. Are we supposed to believe that the best and most helpful response is a rant about gun ownership? How about helping out with their economy?
