Well, really she didn’t that I know of, but I found out the new Venezuelan Gun Control Law proposal and I’ve been reading it. To say that it is every gun banner’s wet dream would be an understatement of biblical proportions.

First, a little background. Venezuela is a “democracy” under the authoritarian rule of Hugo Chavez and an absolute meek pliable legislature. Laws are ordered by Hugo, usually while he rants on his weekly Sunday TV show (which every TV and radio station must carry under penalty of law) and on Monday the “Assembly” gets together to bang the “proposed” articles of the new law, puts it for vote no later than Wednesday and presents it to His Majesty on Thursday for his reading between blows of cocaine. By Friday is signed into law and published. Some laws make take some more time so they make no announcement till it is ready for publication and Hugo can claim it was his idea.

Now that the “legislative” process is covered, let’s go to the why they came out with a third gun control law during the jubilant period of eternal government by His Grace the Almighty Hugo: Crime is totally out of control. The official number of murders every year is above 15,000 for a country of under 27 million people.  To make it a tad clearer: Venezuela is roughly the size and population of Texas but it has a bit over ten times the number of murders.  98% of murders are never solved by the police and every poll in Venezuela says that the number one preoccupation for the average citizen is crime. Two other gun controls were previously adopted which included a one month grace period where every subject had to register any and all weapons with Venezuela’s Defense Department under penalty of heavy prison time. Of course criminals did not do such thing and crime kept crawling up. Have No Fear! Hugo is Here! So we have another Gun Control Law in the cauldron which promises without a doubt the elimination of crime as we know it.

Here are some of the highlights:

• You buy the gun but it does not belong to you. It is government’s property that can be confiscated for any reason and without compensation.
• You are allowed only ONE gun. That’s it! If you need (not want) more than one, you must make your case to the Government and go through a process which will not guarantee you anything.
• You are allowed to own ONE reload (One spare mag or speedloader) and the reload is limited to 14 rounds.
• You are allowed to buy only 50 rounds a year for self defense. If you use it and need it replenished, you must go through a crapload of paperwork similar to why you need another gun.
• No hollow point ammunition. Full metal Jackets or FMJ expanding ammo only and only the ones provided by the government at their stores or the stores licensed by the Government.
• Ammo for sporting purposes can be obtained but only at authorized ranges and under scrutiny and keeping track of every round spent. Unused ammo must be returned. Private ranges must account for every round of ammunition and keep strict tabs.
• All ammo belongs to the state.
• Reloading your own ammunition carries a penalty of 8 to 10 years in prison.
• No gun modifications are allowed at all. This covers replacing any part of the gun like grips or sights.
• Nobody but the Government is allowed to stock spare parts. You must buy the parts from them.
• Illegal weapons carry a 10-18 year sentence
• Illegal trafficking gets 16 years
• Illegal bows, crossbows, air rifles or even airsofts gets you 8 years.
• The Media MUST (under penalty of law) produce Public Service Ads explaining why guns are bad and you must be disarmed.

There is more, but I thought this was enough to make anybody sick. And if you do not think Anti Gunners wouldn’t dare to pass something like this, think again: They would kill to get that law here.

UPDATE: I just found out that the law has been approved as it stands by the Legislature. It is on its way to Hugo’s desk. Careful do not disturb the coke lines.

Obama says that we do not need to stock up…suuuure bubba, we believe you. And the check is in the mail and I’ll respect you in the morning and call you tomorrow. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, we need not to worry because the Great and Powerful Ozmaba says:

“I believe in common-sense gun safety laws, and I believe in the second amendment,” Obama said at a news conference. “Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear. I said that throughout the campaign. I haven’t indicated anything different during the transition. I think people can take me at my word.”

Yep! Those pesky “common-sense” gun laws that have worked so magnificently in Chicago which now is the most crime free city in the United States, right? No murders at all in the Windy City, everybody is free and happy, while the birds are singing and the sun shines beautifully even at midnight during those basketball games in the inner city. I know, I know, enough with the sarcasm.

It irks me that Obama, disciples and minions thinks we are stupid. Peter Hamm, Propaganda Meister for the Brady Campaign against Gun Violence (also known as Brady Campaign to Save Jobs for Criminals and Guarantee Murderers get Fresh Victims Every Day) even displays his ignorance in a quote from the same article:

“Anyone who thinks they need to rush out and buy a firearm clearly has not been paying attention to how quickly we make progress on this issue. We don’t think these are first-time buyers. We think they are people who already have more than enough guns at their homes to protect themselves and are buying more.”

Peter, Oh buddy of mine. Civil Rights do not come with an “enough” clause. My right to defend myself against criminals do not have to be subjected to what a Washington or Chicago flunkie determines to be enough.  And dictating what is enough private property is the mark of the socialist worldwide, specially when they are ready to take such property from the hands of the Citizens under the excuse of the Common Good.

I guess we know where you guys are common from…. then again we knew that already and that is why we are stocking up.

The latest from Hosanna Obama comes from the Wall Street Journal. It seems that during one of those “spontaneous” town hall meetings at a factory in P.A. Obama was asked about a rumor that he intended to ban guns to which he started blabbing the following:

“If you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking it….Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ he said. “This can’t be the reason not to vote for me. Can everyone hear me in the back? I see a couple of sportsmen back there. I’m not going to take away your guns.’’

OK, how stupid does he thinks people are? In his elitist case, plenty. And that is because as a good Liberal, Obama thinks the common folk are too stupid to grasp the advanced ideas he has to make everybody equal (read miserable) in his future Obama Nation. Good thing is that Obama does not have the capacity of thinking on his feet and lie properly and we are rewarded with pearls of stupidity like the one above. If you want another example of his verbal trip & falls, here is another quote from the article:

Obama trotted out his standard policy stance, that he had a deep respect for the “traditions of gun ownership” but favored measures in big cities to keep guns out of the hands of “gang bangers and drug dealers’’ in big cities “who already have them and are shooting people.

Now this comes across as insanely stupid since his political hometown of Chicago, one of the most anti-gun in the country is racked with a murder wave that beats imagination. It is easier for a citizen of the Windy City to get cancer than to legally obtain a firearm yet the gang-bangers and drug dealers (already breaking tons of laws for possessing firearms) have no trouble getting guns. Yet Obama plans to repeat the failed experiment across the nation and make us forced victims of his absurd stance. Of course if he becomes president, he will have the full power of the Secret Service to protect him but your Average Joe in Chicago, New York, Boise, Miami, Nashville, etc will have to deal with a criminal working his trade under the sponsorship of the Federal Government.
