This is amazing for Latin America. That a major government official, the minister of Defense no less would come out and assert armed population is like Sarah Brady coming back from the death, getting a concealed weapons permit and go on a shopping binge at her local Gun Store.

Minister Fernandez continued:

“Look what happened the other day at the Bataclan, two or three cowards were killing teenagers and young adults as if they were doves.” The same happened in Norway, detailed and argued that if the young people had been armed history might have been different. “They would not have gone, nor would even thought about it,” he said.

He said people should arm themselves to defend themselves against the government “… against despotism and tyranny”.

First Panama, now Uruguay… There is hope for the world.
