"A Declaration of War"

In Venezuela, they regret their six-year-old anti-gun law, and describe it as “a declaration of war on an unarmed population.” “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.” And that is true wherever guns are prohibited to the law-abiding population. It was true in Nazi Germany, and was true in communist Russia. There, and in many other countries ruled by despots all over the world, it is true. Any government that wants total gun prohibition for the population not working for the government, is setting their people up to be looted by the strongest among them, which is usually their own government. They usually push their anti-gun legislation as being “for security,” but it is really for CONTROL. The ability to tell their people they CAN’T. And then they often abuse it, and “stomp all over” their people. (Fox News)
