    In photo 4, was that a Luger the guy on the left was holding, just before he destroyed it?

    The whole thing is a public display of governmental futility. I, seriously, doubt any gang members turned in their guns.

    You should NOT be living in fear. You should not let fascists dictate the size of your collection.

    Sounds like they need Police control not gun control if most guns and ammunition is being bought illegally from corrupt police.

    Too little too late. The fate of the socialist experiment in Venezuela is sealed. It won't be long before the Venezuelan regime is toppled.

    I agree, but....once they overthrow one regime, they will replace it with another that will be just as bad, or worse. For some reason, SA just can't seem to get it right, no matter how many times they change governments.

    Anyone stupid enough to surrender their weapons deserves to lose them.

    Idiots.

    Sometimes they don't have a choice. I'm sure the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto didn't WANT to surrender their weapons to the SS. Armed groups kicking down doors has a way of convincing folks.

    They had a choice. They knew what was happening. Better to kill an SS or two before they were killed themselves than to calmly walk to the gas chamber and give their life away for free.

    The Jews foolishly believed (and still believe) that they can negotiate their way out of trouble. After surrendering to the SS without a fight, thinking it would save them, what was their next option when they discovered that it wouldn't work?

    Even today, most Jews are anti-gun pacifist wimps. They gallantly shake their fists in the air, yelling "never again", yet they keep themselves unarmed and try to disarm everyone else.

    I wonder how they plan to back up "never again" without any weapons?

    Even the WW-II Germans shook their heads in disbelief... wondering how they could calmly walk to their deaths and not even try to save themselves (or at least die on their feet). The Germans found Jewish behavior incomprehensible (which probably fed into the human nature to hate a coward and made things even worse for them).

    Historically true, but also not the point. Your statement was that people ALWAYS have a choice. But in your example theirs was to DIE on their feet or DIE like a dog. That's doesn't validate your point. It was just differentiating different ways to DIE.

    No, what I'm saying is that they KNEW they would die, so why not try to take a Nazi down first?

    When the SS or Gestapo knocked on the door at 3:00 AM, why weren't they greeted with a pan of boiling water or a 2x4 across the head or a bread knife to the gut?

    They were going to die anyway... they knew this. So why give their life away for free?

    The truth that nobody wants to speak is that Jews are cowards. They don't like violence, they don't like weapons and they don't like conflict.

    They think that makes them more civilized than others, but all animals (including humans) are by nature violent and competitive. The weak never survive evolution.

    Jews claiming that they are "civilized" because they don't carry a gun are, in reality, saying "I'm too afraid to defend my way of life".

    Then, Mother Nature takes their life, tosses it away, roars with laughter and cries with pity.

    Jews ask "why didn't someone try to stop the holocaust?". I ask "why didn't you try to stop it yourselves?".

    The Venezuelan government is having a lot of problems these days. I think that the government is genuinely worried about massive civil unrest soon, and is rounding up the weapons now before it's too late.

    And, given a chance, the Dimocrats will ruin our country and be worried about the same thing happening here.
