Here's What Happened When Venezuela Imposed Gun Control Laws
Submitted by Simon Black via SovereignMan.com,
I just got back from Caracas, Venezuela, a city so dangerous that every time I left my hotel, the staff would warn me against even going outside.
It’s an incredibly difficult reality to reconcile. People hate the fact that they may get robbed or killed just steps from their front door when they leave the house every morning.
And nobody wants that.
After all, everyone wants to be safe. Even wild animals seek out safety in nature.
A few years ago, in response to national outcry, the government of Venezuela took steps to fix this problem.
There was too much death, too much crime. So they imposed strict gun control laws to stop the murderers and thieves.
The end result? Violent crime actually increased. And Caracas is now one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
But across the Andes is another city that used to be one of the most dangerous in the world - Bogota.
Years ago, Bogota led the region in murder. And they imposed their own strict gun control laws trying to clean up the streets.
It worked. Bogota became safer. There was less murder. Less crime. Less violence.
But how could the same policy engineer completely different results in two cities?
This disparity becomes even more vexing when we look at other countries.
Honduras and Brazil both have very high homicide rates. Yet Brazil has highly restrictive gun laws, while Honduras has fairly lax gun laws.
Pakistan has some of the loosest gun laws in the world. Chile’s are fairly restrictive. Yet both have low homicide rates.
Bosnia has a very liberal gun laws. Belgium has very restrictive laws. Yet their homicide rates are similar.
Luxembourg has few privately-owned guns per capita, yet its murder rate is much higher than Germany’s, which has over twice as many.
Hawaii and Vermont have polar opposite gun laws yet nearly the same homicide rate.
Maryland and Virginia have vastly different gun laws, yet almost identical rates of gun-related deaths.
The numbers are all over the board.
- Staunch advocates for gun control tend to think that more regulations and fewer guns make us safer.
- Those who oppose gun control tend to think that more guns and fewer regulations make us safer.
- But the data doesn’t support either assertion, meaning there must be other factors at work.
(By the way, the National Academy of Science and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention came up with the exact same conclusion– the numbers don’t support either assertion.)
But it’s impossible to even begin to analyze until we admit what the real concern is. After all, we’re not really talking about gun violence.
Gun violence has been occurring for years, predominantly in poor neighborhoods across the country. 75% of gun-related violence takes place in just 5% of US zip codes.
But no one really cares about that.
As long as gun violence stays localized to black people, Mexicans, and other ethnic minorities in poor neighborhoods, it’s considered ‘crime’ and never makes the news.
It’s not until some lunatic shoots up a predominantly white, middle class neighborhood that CNN covers it, and Hollywood celebrities air public service announcements telling us that ‘we’ have to do something.
That response is an emotional one. Let’s get rational.
These incidents are undoubtedly tragedies. But if the goal really is to save lives, and you start with a flawed premise that it is the government’s responsibility to protect people, consider that every piece of legislation incurs a rather significant cost.
There’s the cost of lobbying… campaigning… plus the actual costs incurred in implementing and enforcing a gun control program.
How much is that? Billions? Tens of billions? Hundreds of billions? I mean, we’re talking about politicians who spent $2 billion on the Obamacare website.
Also consider that the United States government doesn’t exactly have limitless resources.
Based on its own financial statements, the US government is in the hole by more than $60 TRILLION, and they run a half-trillion dollar budget deficit each year.
These guys are broke, which means they have to choose wisely.
So again, if the goal is to save lives (and if you really believe this is the government’s responsibility), the cold, hard truth is that you have to make rational decisions to get the highest return on investment, i.e. the most lives saved per dollar spent.
The President of the United States proudly told the nation last week that his government had spent $1 trillion protecting Americans against terrorists.
That’s a pretty amazing figure given how low the odds are of dying in a terror attack.
Hell, it’s more likely that you’d be shot by a police officer, or get killed in a US drone strike while visiting a hospital in Pakistan.
(By any independent count, Mr. Obama has killed more innocent civilians than all the crazed lunatics put together. Perhaps he needs to control some of his own guns.)
The government’s own numbers tell us that 3.8 people per 100,000 in the US die each year from non-suicide gun violence. Terror-related deaths are effectively 0.0.
Meanwhile, 11.6 per 100,000 die in traffic related deaths. A whopping 169.8 people per 100,000 die from heart disease.
If you’re going to spend scarce resources (time, energy, and money that you don’t have) to save lives, doesn’t it make sense to tackle a bigger problem that’s easier to solve, and where the solution is actually supported by the data?
Let’s talk about this more in today’s podcast. And it’s not what you think.
I’m not going to make an argument that more guns make us safer, or that ‘guns don’t kill people, people kill people…’ or anything like that.
Regardless of how you feel about the issue, I really encourage you to spend some time listening to this.

But the reason terror related deaths are 0.0 is because we spend $1T to prevent them.
Just BTFD.
Way to go Simon. Ramble about a parodoxical socio-political phenomenon, and then change the topic without proposing a hypothesis.
Waste of time. Gave me some blue balls there.
My thoughts exactly. I kept reading and got to the end, and said woot? Where's the beef?

I once had many unregistered firearms. Unfortunately I lost them all in a tragic boating accident.
America does not have a gun problem
America has a violent kneegrow problem
The BLACK LIES MATTER movement is the socialist jew media , inciting low IQ kneegrows to gun violence by repeating ridiculous lies. That's why the uptick in black on white multiple shootings. It's all about disarming law abiding whites because of kneegrow gun violence.

< The Feminazis want to confiscate our firearms.

How many people has he killed today with his MIC weapons?
this is kinda off topic, but since we are talking about gun stuff- if any of you guys live near an academy sports and own a firearm that likes russian steel cased, they have 520 round spam cans of 762x39 on sale for 129, 20$ off.
id have picked some up, but i lost my rifle in a tragic ocean kayaking related incident
An armed citizenry is a safe citizenry. There's a good reason for the Second Amendment.
There was too much death, too much crime. So they imposed strict gun control laws to stop the murderers and thieves.
The end result? Violent crime actually increased. And Caracas is now one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
XXXXXXXXXXX
Violent crime increased? Despite strict gun control laws? This makes no sense to me. Oh well, back to listening to NPR.
Might have something to do with any whack job being able to get kitted out at walmart or whatever your favourite lcal gun store is these days.
I have an honest question I've always wanted answered. In the U.S. do we actually jail people who possess or sell guns illegally?
Not even 10 years ago, 1000 rounds of 762x39 went for less than $129... fckn Fed.
fckn fed, maybe. or just simple supply and demand. 10 years ago, people weren't buying it up like they are today. While there isn't much left of the 'free market' left today, I would be willing to bet that this is one of them. more and more people are buying up ammo, its inevitable that the prices go up. Either way, 129 for a spam can isn't bad these days
Hitler was Christian so I guess the Christians are to blame....
Hitler was a vegetarian so I blame the vegetarians.

inciting low IQ kneegrows to gun violence by repeating ridiculous lies.
?? Whether or not you agree with the martyrs held up by the imbeciles in the BLM group (and I do not. They repeatedly hold up people that deserved to die), you're saying that cops aren't out of control in this country. Cops routinely murder unarmed people by shooting them in the front back and everwhere else. So that would make you a liar or idiot too. You choose.
I used to argue that we are safer in having guns than not, but I gave up on that. Now, I just tell people that I don't give a fuck if could save lives by banning guns. Living with the potential of danger is the price of freedom. Get used to it, or move to a "safe" nanny-state.
"then why don't you just move to LIBERTARIAN PARADISE SOMALIA!!!"
struts off with a self satisfied grin.....
- every liberal, everytime ive said something like that
Too bad Rhodesia has become the failed state of Zimbabwe. There could have been a decent libertarian place in Africa at this point...
ZH'ers are the absolutely worst boaters in the world. I include myself here. I lost all my PM's in a tragic boating accident last year.
I think I might start an underwater salvage biz; there's gotta be tons of guns and gold out there.
At least you folk had PM's & guns...and boat(s). :'(
The Catch-22 is that you'll be operating your salvage enterprise...from a boat!
The canoe is the bane of any stacker. I love mine, but it has a mind of its own.

His point is........................................there is no point.
if you think his article is pointless, try listening to Simon's linked podcast.
Everyone seemed to missed this was all a plug for his raido/pod bit.
there is no point.
That's what the bayonet lug is for.
Who is/are "Simon Black?
Exactly....
Mr Gun Stats Black should watch this....
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=history+of+gun+control+and+socialists
God damn it, I continued reading the article to the very end in the hope that Simon might produce a relavant hypothesis as to violence. My own mental narrative as I went along reading went deeper into conclusion then the rambling, elusive piece. I thought that Simon might actually make the leap of faith and begin a discussion on human violence du jour, in history, and, therefore, in essence. Oh well, poor rating deserved.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Ergo, instead of banning guns, ban people. A city emptied of people will have no crime problem.
There, solved it for you.
Which leads me to the conclusion that China built all their empty cities to lower their crime statistics.
Got me hard. Didn't finish the job.
MANDATY OPEN AND CONCEALED CARRY FOR ALL CITIZENS.
Crime is a bitch when 'ole rapist / purse snatcher / mugger / bank robber / psychopathic school shoter-upper - has every passer by in the area drawing, aiming, and yelling " FREEZE, MOTHERFUCKER ! "
Or, just shooting that total waste of DNA for the sake of the gene pool.
Now that - is a real " Its for the children " moment for you all.
The unnamed link to virtually every one of these mass shootings by young males is the one thing the media almost refuses to mention - Prescription Drugs, mainly SSRI's.
Since the laws were changed to allow prescription drugs to advertised in public media, the media conglomerates have been raking in huge ad revenue dollars. they won't breathe a word to upset their sponsors, a lot like tobacco advertising in the 70's. The Tobacco companies killed untold millions with their lies, and the media was complicit.
"75% of gun-related violence takes place in just 5% of US zip codes"
and nyc/dc is trying to use these zoos to disarm the humans in the 95%
"WE.ARE.THE.95%!!!"
When guns are illegal only criminals will have guns.
Obviously.
Looks what happens to US stats when you remove the murders of 10 most violent Democrat cities in the US. (HINT: we fall to one of the lowest murder rate countries in the world.)

You make a perfect case for banning heart attacks.
Keep buying.
It's the only thing that makes sense.
Done and done, I had had some lunatic grab me by the neck and threaten me at the bar during the Pirates/Cubs game on Wednesday (i thankfully live 100 yards across the IL/IN state line, on the non-bankrupt side).
Mr. Kimber was halfway out of his holster before that fat pile of shit realized he was in deep deep trouble and backed off with his eyes as big as saucers...Didn't so much as glance in my direction the rest of the night.
Brave man - was he armed or you just pulll out your rod for any reason - big man
LOL, so I am supposed to let a 250 lb man grab me by the neck and threaten me with assault??
Do you have difficulty with reading comprehension? What part of 'halfway out of holster' do you not understand? The thug idiot saw where my hand/arm was, put 2+2 together when I told him to get his hands off me, and immediately went away and left me the hell alone like he should have in the first place.
Go fuck yourself shit for brains...
I agree, Im a grown ass man, Im not getting in a fist fight. If I can just walk away, thats my first choice, but if not, sorry, but you get a hydrashok. should have just left me alone. ill do everthing i can to de-escalate and leave, and damn sure won't confront anyone(A- its hard to claim 'stand your ground' as a defense if you egg him on, and B- while I have no problem using my gun if someone attempts to harm me or my family, Id rather not have to do so, don't want to be the next george zimmerman). But you did the right thing, most of the time drawing your weapon, or even reaching for it, wil be enough to end it.
LOL sorry I just thought most logical people would know how to deal with that sort of situation without feeling the need to reach for a gun
See Zero, that is the problem, you do not know the entire story. I did not have time to react before the thug, who spoke with a thick Russian accent, had the biggest gold watch on I have ever seen, and was wearing one of Tony Soprano's Adidas track suits, grabbed & threatened me over a very innocuous comment that was not argumentative at all. Trust me when i say I am quite concerned about the situation now and who these guys are as I highly doubt this dude and the other 3 thugs who appeared to be angry Russian body builders on the verge of a roid rage have 9-5 jobs, if you catch my drift...
Your comment insinuated that I was looking for any excuse to draw my gun and 'act like a tough guy'...I am not that guy at all, get along well with just about anyone, and never start trouble, especially over baseball which I find to be excruciatingly boring. I simply refuse to be a victim, and where I live, if you touch someone in a threatening manner, then all bets are off.
well after those details I can kind of see your situation better - fair enough
Thank you. I really, really do not want trouble.
Used to live in NWI. Close to cook county but without all their fucking taxes. People always wondered why I chose to commute a fair distance rather than live closer to work; my response was "taxes and firearm freedom". I pay more to that shithole state AND I can't carry? Fuck off.
Also, if it makes more than 50% in revenue from booze you're not supposed to carry. But I don't have to worry, I lost all my guns in a tragic boating accident so I ignore that part of the statute too
Ghengis,
Same reason I moved, once I realized that there was a gun registry and IL considered every gun I owned to be some kind of 'assault' weapon, I had to get the fuck out...I am in Munster now until I can escape the midwest for good...Although it is only a 38 minute train ride which is shorter than a lot of the outlying IL suburban commutes.
I have reviewed the regulations carefully in IN, and did not see anything like the 50% rule (which many states have). Any chance you have a source handy for that detail? I am going to look into it again, my neighbor is a cop so I might just go ask him to make sure. Last thing I want to do is break the law inadvertently, although I suffered a similar, tragic boating accident.
Ok, I think you're right.
http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/indiana.pdf
I'll have to look more closely for IN. I probably had it stuck in my head from Michigan law (http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/michigan.pdf) from living there so long. Also I rarely go to bars now (for a variety of reasons) and if I do, it's not a couple beers to wind down (even if that's the original plan!) so I leave it in the glove box.
Used to live in Grifftih, not two blocks from Blythe's and would hit up Deb's in Hammnond frequently. Had some kids born at Community. Would drive over to Santori's on Sunday's for beer. Indiana may have been backwards on beer on Sundays, but that was quickly remedied with better home inventory and a small price to pay for loads more freedom.
You scared me lol!
When the government has little respect for human life why should the citizens be different?
sad but I guess if that's the kind of society you are willing to accept but why join them
Ehh, at least if I have a gun and someone goes nutz I can have the option to be on equal footing.
Anyone else getting a broken link?
Don't know...after reading that, I'm not clicking.
no, but couldn't make it to 3 minutes in and I was done. maybe it's my older-age impatience.
The numbers are all over the board.
So having guns to protect yourself from your peers is a push. And we struggle to know if it's even worth the cost of legislation.
So again, if the goal is to save lives (and if you really believe this is the government’s responsibility), the cold, hard truth is that you have to make rational decisions to get the highest return on investment, i.e. the most lives saved per dollar spent.
Well, how about adding this to the mix. What if the servants we hire to protect ... what if they become our enemy and turn against us. What are we to do ... negotiate our way out? ... legislate our way out?
As people (victims of gun crimes) have testified before government committees many times, their fear is not from bandits and murderers ... it's from their government going off the reservation.
since it is obvious from decades of government policy and actions, both in the US and through foreign policy that the US govt does not give one single flying fuck about human life, getting rid of guns obviously isn't to "protect human lives" as they like to say. So, since we know this to be fact, what other reason is there?
the US govt does not give one single flying fuck about human life
All governments have a "huge" concern for their own (human?) lives. It's you and I who they force to "give" to create their flying fucks.
Hey Tyler, as long as you are posting ads for podcasts can I hump mine too?
Last time I was in Venezuela on business + holiday, this is what happened to me in 3 days:
Criminals tried to break into my car 2 times.
I parked on the side of the coast highway to take a photo and 2 guys tried bending the top of the car door back to get to the lock button, but I interrupted them before they could get in.
Then when I parked at a store to buy some things, 2 guys tried to break into my car as soon as I entered the store - whose front had been covered in a heavy steel cage to block thieves from just crashing through the windows, which had been covered in plywood - I ran out and gave them a solid spray with my Alaska JUMBO bear pepper spray, including spraying deep into their throats as they were thrashing around on the ground gasping for breath and streaming mucous.
Then, as I was driving around in my rental car, 4 militia guys armed with M16's stopped me at gunpoint, got into my car, and ordered me to drive them to a bar/restaurant where they met up with some women, after they went hrough the stuff I had in the back seat and took what they wanted.
I immediately cut my visit short, changed my flight, departed Venezuela and would never return, unless accompanied by a division of USA Marines.
The socialist parasites have succeeded in transforming Venezuela into a world-class shit hole.

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
--Rudyard Kipling
"The Gods of the Copybook Heading"
Kipling's TGOTCH should be REQUIRED READING in all American schools. In fact, it should be studied and analyzed EVERY YEAR, at the beginning and end. It absolutely CRUSHES LIBERALISM and foolish notions about a perfectable mankind.
It is my favorite poem, and memorizing it word-for-word is on my list of things to do.
@dochood
I totally agree with you.
This is another good one, this type of Kipling poem has been eradicated from books sold today, the Powers that Be do NOT want us thinking this way:
The Stranger
by Rudyard Kipling
The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk --
I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind.
The men of my own stock
They may do ill or well,
But they tell the lies I am wonted to.
They are used to the lies I tell,
And we do not need interpreters
When we go to buy and sell.
The Stranger within my gates,
He may be evil or good,
But I cannot tell what powers control
What reasons sway his mood;
Nor when the Gods of his far-off land
Shall repossess his blood.
The men of my own stock,
Bitter bad they may be,
But, at least, they hear the things I hear,
And see the things I see;
And whatever I think of them and their likes
They think of the likes of me.
This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf --
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.
Copybook headings is framed above my desk it should be read and read again until internalized.
Gun violence has been occurring for years, predominantly in poor neighborhoods across the country. 75% of gun-related violence takes place in just 5% of US zip codes
Let's say that Tyrone's "gun culture", living in Detroit is probably worlds appart from Troy's "gun culture", living in rural Alabama...
"75% of gun-related violence takes place in just 5% of US zip codes."
And someday the other 95% will put up signs:
YOU ARE NOW ENTERING A SAFE ZONE
ALL INNER-CITY RESIDENTS WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT
THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING!
3.8 per 100k die. That's the minus. Tell me how many per 100k are saved by a gun. That's the plus.
" 75% of gun-related violence takes place in just 5% of US zip codes".
Eliminate these 5% of US zip codes and you reduce crime by 75%. It's like unemployment numbers. Quit counting people who run out of benefits and the numbers come down from 23% to 5%. Whoever is cooking the books is not paying attention? There is one difference in hind sight and that is if the desire to have unemployment figures low then they will be made low. If there is a desire to have high crime rates due to guns, then the figures will be made high. The objective is to reinforce the notion that government cares and is working toward the end of benefiting the "citizens". Published data proves this.
The world is pretty savage amongst non-European heritage demographics. This may seem like nothing but it is a SIGNPOST:

Here's a clue. What makes ANYBODY think that ANY form of gun control will keep ANYONE, yes this means you, from getting a gun. How lucrative is the heroin market, the crack market, the weed market, the crystal meth market? Name your black market. If you want easy access to guns, you should be rooting for a total fucking ban. Cuz that's when things hockey stick bitches! Courtesy of your supplier........! - .gov
We the People have been collecting guns forever. The collector can have dozens of rifles and pistols, nothing ever gets shot but gongs and paper.
Let some inner city punk buy a pistol, five minutes after he figures out how to load it he's waving it around at bus stops, hos, anyone that disses him.
When he starts shooting the only safe place is wherever he aims.
We have a problem, but it isn't firearms.
I have long maintained that marksmanship, especially leading your target when firing from a moving vehicle, should be a mandatory class in high school-- particularly in the inner cities.
For all their other non-virtues, at least the Mob knew better than to mow down innocent bystanders. Whoever got whacked was the intended whackee and nobody else.
Yes, a mob neighborhood was a quiet neighborhood. They did their violence downtown or out under the overpass. They wouldn't put up with low-class mutts breaking into houses or assaulting old ladies.
Al Capone was the most popular man in Chicago at one time, he funded soup kitchens and other charities all over town. To his enemies he was a dangerous bastard, to everyone else he was just a bootlegger performing a public service, and a generous benefactor to the poor.
Superficial analysis and reliance on demonstrably flawed government statistics is no way to go through life, son.
Your analysis doesn't work. For Venezuela, you are confusing gun laws and gun ownership - which hits the roofs.
Illegal gun ownership, that is. The Venezuelan street gangs all have automatic rifles and hand grenades. Pakistan has a lenient law AND its capital Karachi counts as one of the most dangerous in the world.
Etc.
So let's have this conversation again when you'll be honest.
Here is the Key too this situation. When is the last time you've told a Child, All Life is Precious? Throw in some religion and hit the key words... Zing you have a moral person. A safer civil society, and I'll bet you in those neighborhoods where crime is high. Life isn't reguarded as precious. Infact I know this to be true, and have seen it with my own eyes; and have heard it with my own ears.

Useless comparisons unless you add in 'what' they do to those who commit gun violence against others, 'how' they handle mentally ill people, and 'whether' their prisons are bad enough to be a deterrent.
I was with you until you got to the comment about prisons.
Moral decay is the real problem. It doesn't matter how you get yours, as long as you get it. Get it?
Caracas has always been a dangerous city. Seems many criminals disobey gun control laws. I used to go there a lot in the 1990's. A shithole
Simon must have a death wish visiting Caracas. Any special investment ideas there?
You can film reality shows like Vice or 60 minutes.
The gold industry is very fast lane lifestyle, placer mining or hydro-mining, or whatever.
I image the Black-Market has taken off in the last two years. It is probably like Africa at this point.
CIA may not buy resources from rebels, but maybe they do. I'm sure the USA has plenty of agents of somebody buying on the black markets.
But what do I know. I'm just a party kinda guy.
Parody:
I just got back from my Jackass Dealer in Chicago, a city so dangerous that every time I left my hotel, the staff would warn me against even going outside even with my Dealer who they were afraid of.
It’s an incredibly difficult reality to reconcile. People hate the fact that they may get robbed or killed just steps from their front door when they leave the house every morning.
And nobody wants that.
After all, everyone wants to be safe. Even wild animals seek out safety in nature.
A few years back they imposed strict gun control laws to stop the murderers and thieves.
The end result? Violent crime actually increased. And Chicago is now one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
Pakistan has low gun violence ?
Yes...when compared to app. 200million population and fairly large number of fire arms owners.

I'm glad you're seeing the big picture, what are the threats and why we have this horrendous heart attack, cancer and mental illness problem that's our biggest threat.
I submit we are being deliberately poiosoned, chemically dumbed down and emotionally handicapped by poisons placed in our air, food, water and medicine by parasitic Zionist Globalist in order to control us.
Our health is being assaulted from fluoride, vaccines, chemtrails and GMOs that overwhelm and disable our immune systems and cause germ infections that result in anxiety, fear, fatigue and depression.
Our oligarch/government rulers are adamant that everyone gets the poison early and often with our infants starting with a health disabling vaccine at birth, even bottled water containing fluoride
that’s as toxic as lead and the continuous shower of chemicals from chemtrails, Roundup and Anthrax-like BT Toxin in GMO Frankenfood.
While external false flag events stampede the public into the commonly perceived safe haven of the Establishment, the greater impetus behind this blind loyalty is the fear everyone
feels internally when these infectious sites, causing life-long diseases, emit inflammatory enzymes causing a pre-existing state of fear.
As Edward R Murrow said, “We have currently a built-in allergy to unpleasant or disturbing information.” That’s because we are already disturbed, depressed and anxious from the continuous internal inflammation from our toxic injury.
Most of the public is already subconsciously in overload with anxiety and depression and will not tolerate criticism of their perceived savior and safe-haven Government.
The only symptom we see is a blind loyalty to the Establishment that when criticized, provokes anger, ostracism and immediate dismissal as “crazy” talk.
To better understand the Poisoning Agenda see Neurosurgeon Dr Russell Blaylock’s Vaccine & Fluoride expose video for a real wakeup.

- Big picture is that our institutions including churches, and foundations omit facts, avoid our problems, and are self promoting in a treasonous way, racketeering way, anti-trust way, and in a seditious way
History of gun control. The Irish is the example you are looking for. After the Cromwell holocaust murdered half the Irish people. Including the assimilated anglos. The legislation abducted "potentially dissident" children and shipped them to slave farms in the "dominions". For 250 years. Its on tap.
Facing this, when gun control legislation was passed in Ireland, the Irish refused to comply. They held their arms. Facing real men, the niggard crowns backed down. Then they aligned themselves with rats, William.
May you be better than this, because I have had it.
I write this at the grave of my friend. An officer, in your wars.
Best when called. I liked your mother. Your father is just another angry dick.
Crown mine.
Americans have some good "sayings" but this "lock n load" is ridiculous.
If I lock the bolt of my rifle, how can I now load it?
1) Pull back the bolt of your M-1 Garand until it "locks" into the open bolt position.
2) Insert clip and "load" weapon by pushing it down into the magazine well rapidly.
3) Get thumb out of way as bolt releases and slams forward, stripping one round off the top of the freshly inserted clip.
Lock and load.
This is like comparing apples to oranges. The country in question is unstructured and has many unregistered guns already circulating. There will always be pain before a payoff is seen.
'So they imposed strict gun control laws....' stopped reading there. A government like Maduro's or Chavez doesn't enforce any laws strictly ok. Let's get this fact straight for those who do decide to read this.
Quite the intellectual tour de force. Examine gun control efforts worldwisde and conclude...
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Interestingly, I happen to know 5 C&R license holders pretty well. Combined, I am sure they account for well over 100 guns in their possession. All of them are probably as interested in the mechanics and the history of the guns, why and how they were developed, as they are about shooting them. Oddly, nobody has been killed by any of their guns (at least while they had them, likely many did die by those guns prior to that as they are mainly older military weapons).
So if guns, the inanimate objects, are truly the problem, how is it they can own so many and bring no harm to any iinnocent person?
What is the real reason the ZWO wants the nation disarmed? To make us safer? Really?
America is so wound up with their gun culture ( and a government subservient to the NRA ) that they will never institute effective gun control.
The rest of the civilised world shakes their heads in wonder and bemusement at every mass shooting in America while pundits on FOX news speak of mental illness being the problem and they are correct.
IT IS mentally Ill to allow a situation where too many guns in a country allow the constant tide of massacares and deaths to continue with the same type of fatality rate as a military conflict and do nothing about it.
WHAT ABOUT LIFE LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS WITHOUT BEING SHOT TO DEATH.
This situation can be fixed with liberty and not more armed government agents.
