This could get interesting....And in a country that was once the 'pearl' of South America
The socialist leader of Venezuela announced in a speech to regime loyalists his plan to arm hundreds of thousands of supporters after a years-long campaign to confiscate civilian-owned guns.
"A gun for every militiaman!" Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro said outside the presidential palace. The arming of Maduro's supporters comes five years after Venezuela's socialist regime outlawed the commercial sale and civilian ownership of firearms. The country recently doubled down on its gun ban through a combination of gun buybacks and confiscations in 2016.
As protests and unrest increase in Venezuela, Maduro has created a landscape where civilians are disarmed but his supporters are not.
In other words, civilians who find themselves fanboys of the socialist regime can now arm themselves and enjoy the title of militiamen. With a flick of the wrist, the president has officially made it so. Magic.
