Venezuelans regret giving up guns

“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.”

pronstar,

Your post was spot on as it's the claim made by every commie in Merica......commy-nism (oh, oh, sorry, I meant 'socialism' yeah, yeah, we don't want to invoke the other ism as it scares some) is just great, give er a try, you'll like it - just ask anyone from Venezuela....

Like the twerp aoc keeps insisting, it's great, free, free stuff......along with that old gas bag bernie - the 'free stuff' for everyone said in his revoltin new yawq accent.....

The irony is that those that support banning things en masse have a love affair with violence and they don't even realize it.

Look around. In general we have become a nation of idealistic wussies. I work with and educated man who is anti-gun.
I asked him what he will do when a bad guy breaks into his home and threatens violence on his family. He said, "I would talk to them."

Nature abhors a vacuum.

Its incredible isn’t it.
These idiots actually believe a criminal is going to stop and listen while committing crime?
More likely the criminal with murder his dumb ass.
It boggles the mind.

No, no, no, guys. You've got is all wrong. I'm all in favor of talking to the person who's about to assault me. The template for such a conversation was laid down long ago by Massad Ayoob in _In The Gravest Extreme_:

...there's only one way you can talk a violent criminal out of harming you once he's picked you for a victim. What you have to do, is hit him with a deep, existential question, something that will make him reexamine and re-evaluate his own personal values and life style, his own hopes and dreams, as related to the moment at hand. It can even be phrased without words. A question like, "You don't want me to have to shoot you in the face with this .38 Special, do you, scumbag?"

That news story almost makes me want to acquire a firearm - or maybe some ammo.

As if any of us in this forum needed an excuse...

Maybe lazy or complacent might be a better description.

That would be a short conversation.

Yeah that doesn’t really work so well in the real world...

Does he have kids or employees? Has he ever had someone yell back or give him attitude about doing or not doing something? Someone breaking into your house is that same kid or bad employee times ten and armed. Yeah, talking works.

Some people need a good talking to. I hate to do it but people bring it upon themselves. We all know the tongue is sharper than any double edge sword
