Chavez is spreading socialism throughout the region with his "oil for socialism" scheme. Disarming the people is necessary to accomplish this.

Looks like Ecuador has made a deal.

See the Dominican story above.

Chavez and the other leftists are behind this. Hopefully the Ecuador citizens will ignore these gun-grabbers.

When I was In Ecuador for 2 weeks in 1998, I spent all but 2 days of that time in Guayaquil. The police were always hiding in their stations, and only came out to write reports about 2 hours after they were called.

The guys in the streets with the guns, kept the crime down.
I met an older gent, with one eye, sitting on an old bicycle, stationed in a round about. I thought at first he must be a thug, but then I found out, he was paid to watch the neighborhood during the day, while everyone was out working. He had a rather nice double barrel sawed off shotgun too (15in barrels). His area was a very low crime area btw.
