If you click here, you’ll see the best poster ever produced on gun control. It shows the various tyrants that have disarmed citizens as part of their oppressive rule.
But it’s missing one face, Hugo Chavez, the hopefully-soon-to-die dictator of Venezuela.
Here’s the key part of an excellent column for Business Insider.
In recent remarks to the Latin American Herald Tribune, Venezuelan Interior and Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami announced that the government will begin suspending firearm importation, effective this month. Furthermore, local gunsmiths will no longer be able to market or sell firearms and ammunition. According to El Aissami, “As of March, every last gun shop remaining in Venezuela – and there are less than 80 – should be closed. That is to say, in Venezuela, the perverse chapter of the commercialization of firearms and munitions is over.”
If you support the 2nd Amendment, you’ll enjoy these gun control posters (here,here, here, here, and here). And here are some amusing images of t-shirts and bumper stickers on gun control (here, here, and here). In addition, I’ve posted three different videos on gun control (here, here, and here). And here’s my interview on NRA-TV. Last but not least, you’ll like this powerpoint presentation on Firearms and the Second Amendment.

╫§╫ America is FALLING HEADLONG into gun control! TRY buying ammunition. You will be hard pressed to find it, if you find it at all. A GUN is just a clumsy hammer without ammunition. DHS is usurping the 2nd amendment by buying up all available ammo! They also buy HOLLOW POINT which is NEVER USED by military for training or (I believe) any other purpose!

You forgot the right wing dictators, like pinochet, franco and trujillo. The gun control its not a socialist conflict. Don’t understand american fascination with guns, there are plenty of countries with better standard livings than america that had the toughest gun controll policys.
[…] And just in case you need one more reason to despise Chavez’s despotic government, the regime is copying Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and other murderous tyrants in imposing gun control. […]
The people of Venezuela did revolt and the military took Chavez into custody. They offered him up to the US to stand trial but for whatever reason George W. Bush refused their offer and they eventually released him.
Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua is another sad example of a dictator who made a comeback.
My advice to any nation who dethrones a tyrant. Kill him at once. Don’t expect some other country or international court to impose justice.

Coming to a tyranny near you!
The people of Venezuela need to revolt. chavez is only preparing for a purge of his country that will leave countless citizens dead.
