Guns are banned, murder goes up,

In the wake of a gun ban, Venezuela sees rising homicide rate

 

[Dennis in MA]

I was told by some guy on FB that wants guns banned (I think that's what he wants - he was very angry, very adamant and not clear on answering that specific question) that all gun crime is determined by population density. LOL. So I live in the sticks, I can have a gun. You in the city - NOGUNS! You in Venezuela?? KISSYOURASSGOODBYE!

Buddy of mine in college was from Venezuela. Worked here in the States, retired back there a few years ago. Saw in last month's alumni mag that he was planning on returning to the US this year. No surprise there.

Lots of lessons for leftists to learn from Venezuela. Unfortunately, they won't or they will get it all wrong anyway and head (again) in the wrong direction.

Leftists should learn from USSR, North Korea, Cuba.

The problem is that they don't.

"But we'll do it better/right" is what you typically see them saying... Like that's going to happen... Things are bad enough as they stand now. If they get their way (the leftists/socialists/etc.) then things are going to go down the crapper at light speed. Of course, THEY will all have armed security details to protect them. The rest of us will be left without any weapons to fight off the wolves. Of course, those wolves will be state sanctioned... With them saying "if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear"... Yeah, just like what they said about Obummercare...

I used to argue with modern commies on the net ages ago. It was / is always: "it was wrong socialism, we will do it right this time."
If I had a penny for every time I heard this, Bill Gates will be my IT guy!

Then it always like that:
But how?
Oh, "we will use right people!"
Where are going to get them?
Oh, we will get the real workers!

It is funny how it was /is always WE will use them, while THEY (who the hell they actually are?) will do the work. Anyway, just venting.

I bought a T-Shirt a while back. BRIGHT red. Pic of Che across the chest. In small writing, like 3/4" high small, the caption says: "Socialism. It's really f*cking stupid." Wore it to a local watering hole this weekend. Nice weather, so Lady Radtekk and I sat outside. Get up to leave, old hippie dude raises a "Power Fist" and says "Right on man..." to which I reply "Did you READ the shirt?" and pause to give him the opportunity. "Uh, yeah, cool bro..." Lady Radtekk and I laughed all the way home.
