There may be fluctuations immediately, but if the numbers that Bill Baldwin offered are correct, it will take a long time for the dictatorship of Chavez to disarm the people. Of course, that will do nothing about machete murders, for example.<br /><br />My prediction is that Venezuela is going the way of Cuba, only with plenty of oil to finance its stupidity.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-79643005076107483552012-06-08T11:44:09.716+02:002012-06-08T11:44:09.716+02:00OK, I'll say they do decrease.

Venezuela is blessed with the advantage of oil, magnifying Chavez's voice all the more. But how you can see his rule as any kind of good is beyond me. Nothing good will come out of this, unless the Venezuelans decide that they've had enough.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-47384158061180751252012-06-02T18:02:22.086+02:002012-06-02T18:02:22.086+02:00I'm watching very closely.

It seems that in 2010 there were about 25,000 firearm permits but 10 million firearms in Venezuela. Unless each permit holder owns about 400 firearms, something is amiss. I guess gun registration and permitting doesn't prevent people from getting guns without government permission.<br /><br />Also, I couldn't find that gun's were actually banned, just the sale to civilians. However, there is this quote <i>"Hugo Chavez's government says the ultimate aim is to disarm all civilians..."</i>Bill Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14372322870114949570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-56127377591147640372012-06-02T10:54:38.244+02:002012-06-02T10:54:38.244+02:00Yes, predict away.Yes, predict away.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-24148862207932723452012-06-01T21:49:21.901+02:002012-06-01T21:49:21.901+02:00That, and how much more of a dictatorship Venezuel...That, and how much more of a dictatorship Venezuela becomes.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-22949181992433960472012-06-01T17:36:03.024+02:002012-06-01T17:36:03.024+02:00Shall we make predictions on a change in crime or ...Shall we make predictions on a change in crime or murder rates?TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667036856347626234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-85128812503033697372012-06-01T15:06:09.841+02:002012-06-01T15:06:09.841+02:00See what happens when owning and carrying a gun is...See what happens when owning and carrying a gun isn't seen as a right?Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-64790693074076053202012-06-01T13:45:31.078+02:002012-06-01T13:45:31.078+02:00Licensing+Registration*Gun Ban=Confiscation.
