"If we Venezuelans can't reach some kind of agreement, we are headed, unfortunately, painfully and irreversibly, toward a civil war," said Carlos Ortega, president of the million-member Venezuelan Workers Confederation, which sponsored the April 11 march that led to Chavez's brief overthrow.
Replace Venezuela with United States.
Replace the Venezuela politicians name with a liberal sociaist US politician,
and you'll see what the gun grabbers in this country are up to.
Venezuelan ranchers on the border with Colombia are being kidnapped by FARC rebels. When they banded together, Chavez denied them gun rights and said he would move against any militia groups. Then Chavez armed his thugs, called Chavistas and proceeded to incite class warfare. He's encouraged the poor to invade the farms while at the same time he's been eliminating jobs in the oil industry. The economy is being ruined. The poor don't want to become squatters in the countryside, they want to stay in towns where they can find work or get govt. services. Chavez keeps trying to fit round pegs into square holes and the tension has boiled over. He is systematically destroying Venezuela.
