In Venezuela, the right to private gun ownership is not guaranteed by law. In Venezuela, civilians are not allowed to possess machine guns, sub-machine guns, carbines, pistols and revolvers, be they automatic or semi-automatic. Civilians are only authorized to hold .22 rifles and shotguns

Applicants for a gun owner’s licence in Venezuela are required to establish a genuine reason to possess a firearm, for example, self-defence, hunting and sport.
An applicant for a firearm licence in Venezuela must pass a background check which considers mental and criminal records. In Venezuela gun owners must re-apply and re-qualify for their firearm licence every three years. In Venezuela, the law requires that a record of the acquisition, possession and transfer of each privately held firearm be retained in an official register. In Venezuela, State agencies are required to maintain records of the storage and movement of all firearms and ammunition under their control

2012 Venezuela bans private gun ownership:

Until now, anyone with a gun permit could buy arms from a private company.

Under the new law, only the army, police and certain groups like security companies will be able to buy arms from the state-owned weapons manufacturer and importer.

The ban is the latest attempt by the government to improve security and cut crime ahead of elections in October

Venezuela saw more than 18,000 murders last year and the capital, Caracas, is thought to be one of the most dangerous cities in Latin America.

'Must do more'

Obama's buddy:

Hugo Chavez's government says the ultimate aim is to disarm all civilians, but his opponents say the police and government may not have the capacity or the will to enforce the new law

Its about to get real in Venezuela for sure. People are literally starved and starving. The gov smell the revolution coming and are trying Hard to cripple it. It might take some bloodshed but hopefully this corrupt meglomaniacal regime will be toppled.

I feel very bad for my mom's family there. It's a hell hole and they are wealthy. I can't imagine what it's like for the average person there.

They have been shooting protestors for a while now and thousands of arrest.

What crimes are the protesters being charged with?
Public incitement, which is instigating others to commit a crime, obstruction of a public roadway, and criminal association or conspiracy. Generally, sentences for these crimes range from three to 10 years in prison.

On the other hand, “criminal association” is part of the Organic Law Against Organized Crime and Terrorist Financing, which is intended to punish major drug cartels, smuggles, and terrorist groups. But this charge is being filed against students and youth protesters who were exercising their rights.

This protestor is marched down an alley then shot April 2013. Now when did that total civilian ban of firearms occur for "public safety".

Some good fishing off that coast… you need some type mothership full of fuel to even consider it with the way things have been the last 15 years.

I love capitalism

They have been dumping oil for the past few months, anything to bring in a bit of cash

Their socialist dream is crumbling hard......and its delicious

I have not bought any Citgo gas since that psycho was elected. Citgo is wholly owned by Venezuelan government.
