"Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro is giving guns to upwards of 400,000 of his supporters in hopes of squashing opponents’ demands for free and fair elections."
"On Sunday night, Maduro ordered the National Bolivarian Militia, a coalition of armed socialist civilians empowered to enforce Maduro’s will, into the streets to stem the tide of opponents calling for elections to replace him. He promised “a gun for every militiaman” and the quadrupling of his civilian force, from 100,000 to 400,000, as soon as possible."
"Venezuela banned the sale of guns to private citizens in 2012 during the tenure of the late dictator Hugo Chávez."
"The law has prevented most civilians from keeping firearms, though they are readily available on the black market, and criminals are known to be well-armed. Caracas is the world’s deadliest peacetime city, with shootings a regular occurrence nationwide. In prisons, inmates often keep firearms and, in one notable incident, made a cell phone video showing off an arsenal of weapons to honor a dead thug."

Reminds me of the Communist guerrillas that Castro and Allende sent into my homeland in Chile, and of course the Socialist cowards in Venezuela made sure to take all of the guns before their slaughter begins.
In Chile we were so very fortunate to have a savior like Pinochet who saved millions from such a horrific fate.
*The intent of this thread is to discuss the events unfolding in Venezuela and the parallels to other events of Communist aggression and slaughter in Latin American countries, such as Chile.
