After Confiscating Civilian Guns, Venezuelan Dictator Maduro Re-arms His Supporters as a Militia

As Venezuela descends further into total chaos and economic collapse, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who rules as a virtual socialist dictator, has announced plans to arm approximately 400,000 of his supporters to make them a personal militia.

By doing so, Maduro hopes to crush growing citizen protests against his regime and put down growing unrest over economic deprivations that have brought the country to a standstill.

In a speech Tuesday outside the presidential palace to a crowd of loyal supporters, Maduro shouted, “A gun for every militiaman!”

The arming of supporters comes five years after the government outlawed the commercial sale and civilian ownership of firearms.
