In today's news, Venezuela is still a trash heap passing as a "sovereign nation." Up until recently they were a gunless trash heap, but that's about to change...

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.

Yep, their people are still dying of starvation en masse, but this is the top priority of the Venezuelan government. In case you haven't a brain, allow us to restate the obvious. The government and Venezuelans are not friends. Yet Venezuelans still rely solely on the government to take care of them...

Here's a quick guide to how Venezuelan government "takes care of" its citizens: 1) disarm them 2) starve them 3) rob them. Notice how number 2 and 3 don't happen until the people are stripped of any means to fight back...

A few things worth noting here. Firstly, Venezuela is a lesson for the rest of the free world - one that shows the true face of socialism. Hence American socialists never bring it up. It doth sucketh. Majorly.

Secondly, socialism and anti-gun-ness go hand in hand because socialism seeks complete control of its participants and their belongings. Especially all of the guns. Because, you know, everything you own is the government's now.

"K thx bai"

The moral of the story is crystal clear and relevant: gun rights matter. They're necessary to fight off the grabby-handed socialist turdberries. Venezuelans don't have a Second Amendment with which to protect themselves, thus they have zero guns with which to protect themselves. So their options are cooperate or be killed. If they don't starve first, that is.

Venezuela and its socialist government are exactly why the United States has a Second Amendment. A tyrannical government is why Americans have the right to keep and bear arms. Regardless of if the government, at the time, is a "good government." Because pretty soon that "good government" turns corrupt. Got it?

So much for caring. Oh wells. Such is the crapstorm that calls itself socialism...
