The uprising in Venezuela today is a stark reminder to all freedom loving Americans why the Second Amendment is a right they should cherish and fight for. The Daily Caller reports:
Venezuela banned private citizens from owning guns seven years ago, leaving firearms solely in the hands of the army and the police. Now, as the country’s opposition attempts to oust the oppressive Maduro regime from power, it is a decision some have come to regret.
Interim President Juan Guaido called for a military uprising, dubbed Operacion Libertad, against socialist dictator Nicholas Maduro on Tuesday. Venezuelans have been protesting for months against Maduro’s “re-election,” which the United States has declared to be illegitimate in light of Maduro’s jailing of political dissidents and protesters.
As the unrest in the country approached a breaking point, some citizens told Fox News in December that they wished they had guns available to them to fight back against the Maduro regime. A 2012 gun ban made that option all but impossible.
“It was never easy to obtain a handgun permit in Venezuela but at least before 2012 it was possible,” Daniel Di Martino, a Venezuelan expatriate, told The Daily Caller. “Since Venezuelans are unarmed we now depend on a military uprising for our freedom rather than a popular uprising.”
With an AR-15 in the hands of every Venezuela citizen, this dictatorship would be overthrown by the end of the day. Let it be a reminder to every lover of freedom.
Ask a libturd and they will tell you that that would NEVER HAPPEN in America————B U L L S H I T !!!!!! The way that party wants to take America, it would definitely happen—most likely in the next 10 years!
#1 Example of why the Dumbocrat/Socialists (Not Freedom Loving Democrats) want to Destroy Amendment #2 !!!
I am a ww2 navy vet and no way will the democraps get to the point that we will give up our guns, they should be very careful at what they wish for
I think your very right because when you are born a real American your just driven to fight for foredoom country and people in it but not all people now because clost to half are trying to destroy it just saying that part is our worst enemies because they are to close and have to be stopped first
Venezuela Is a prime example of why the founding fathers put ARMS in the 2nd Amendment with no restriction on what type , knowing the evolution of weapons as they did …
You can’t fight machine guns with flintlocks or tanks with a handgun …
The Demoncrat Party wants to confiscate guns so that the citizens will be defenseless. Then the Demoncrats can do whatever the want. That’s also why they want to bring illegal immigrants into America. That’s also why they want the illegal immigrants to be allowed to vote as soon as possible.
The answer is: We need to to ship them a couple hundred thousand AR 15’s and a train load of ammo… Stir in some tactical advice and wait for the cake to rise! Meanwhile, preventing any outside influences from stamping their feet, making noise, causing the cake fall! Wala! A good place to start a democratic republic! NOT A DEMOCRACY!!! A democracy is a half-step away from a dictatorial authoritarian government!
A democracy is the only form of government worse than an authoritarian dictatorship!
don,t give them ar give them some fresh Russian AKs like Russia would do us
The Second Amendment also protects all of the other Amendments in our Constitution.
Correct! Without 2A, no other rights exists!
Without our Second amendment, the rest of them would be up for grabs. The Second amendment guards and enforces the first amendment and all the others. It FORCES the government to bend to the will of the people..not the other way around. There are more armed people in this society than all the forces that the government can muster. Without this right, we become SUBJECTS..not CITIZENS.. and there is a vast difference between the two!
Why do you think the communists (democrat party) want to disarm us?!
