What Do Venezuela, Socialism And Gun Control Have In Common?

LATE-STAGE SOCIALISM: Further Protests as Venezuela Begins Running Out of Water.
“Locals have been protesting since 3 am due to lack of water on the Charallave-Ocumare highway, and are now requesting the presence of the media,” wrote onlooker Rocely Romero in Twitter.
The last major water shortage in Venezuela was in February 2016, when authorities announced a weekend “maintenance” session designed to maintain sufficient water levels during a period of drought. An estimated three million in Caracas consequently went without water, where the average temperature at that time of year is 68F.
The lack of clean water is the latest in a string mass shortages experienced in Venezuela under the rule of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro.
That the world’s most oil-rich nation has to import crude oil, and that a semi-tropical country can run out of water, should tell you everything you need to know about socialism.
To the statists, they own even the water you drink. And no, that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about socialism.
There are many more things to understand, but the most salient is this.
Until now, anyone with a gun permit could buy arms from a private company.
Under the new law, only the army, police and certain groups like security companies will be able to buy arms from the state-owned weapons manufacturer and importer.
In 2012. But socialist militants get guns. Crime is out of control, whether by mere people looking for the next morsel, or government thugs attempting to tamp down on the violence.
Again, gun confiscations and gun controls preceded everything else. It is the framework in which statism is born and people are killed.
The common thread that runs through all of it is a rejection of the Almighty and replacement of His authority with wickedness.
