Venezuela crushes 2,000 guns in public, plans registry of bullets

Venezuelan police crushed and chopped up nearly 2,000 shotguns and pistols in a Caracas city square on Wednesday, as the new interior minister relaunched a long-stalled gun control campaign in one of the world's most crime-ridden countries.

Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said the event marked the renewal of efforts to disarm Venezuelans, through a combination of seizures and a voluntary program to swap guns for electrical goods.

Venezuela has the world's second highest murder rate and the street gangs that plague its poor neighborhoods have become increasingly heavily armed in recent years, at a time when a deep recession has reduced resources available to police.

Doesn't get any dumber than that.............:screwy

"We are going to bring disarmament and peace," Reverol told reporters, while police officers drilled and sawed at rusty shotguns, home made pistols and some newer weapons.

Idiocy.....they will do....Neither!

They've crushed 25,000,000 or so people, too, but what do the socialists care.

The shortages of basic necessities has probably been causing the Venezuelan people to think about "regime change", and so the government is launching gun confiscation & destruction to quell future uprisings.

Hillary's probably taking notes.
