Fighting Crime: Left-wing authoritarian style

Latest from Venezuela and the far Left's favorite dictator--Curtail violent crime by disarming innocent people. Law abiding folks will generally abide by gun and other laws. The folks who are committing the murders are not likely to abide by gun laws or most laws when they get in the way. This is the typical idiocy of trying to disarm the law abiding population to stop the violent criminal population. All these moves do is deprive the law-abiding of their rights to have reasonable weapons for lawful self-defense. Further, it has become obvious to many that civilian disarmament is not really about crime control (esp. in authoritarian nations). As the article suggests: "Needless to say, the political establishment, . . .doesn't give a damn about protecting people. They care about protecting themselves, their interests, and the status quo. Curtailing gun sales in the name of fighting crime is a means of achieving those goals."
