Vzla: Next they took the guns away....

Venezuela suspended the right of the country's 24 million people to carry firearms in a bid to damp violence that has claimed the lives of at least 10 protesters in the last week, Defense Minister General Jorge Garcia said.

Garcia said the suspension would start at 6 p.m. (5 p.m. New York time) today and continue through March 14. The measure came as hundreds of Chavez opponents protested in the capital for an eighth day.

``We want to guarantee the safety of all people,'' Garcia said in a televised news conference.

Night is almost upon Venezuela. It's not about damping violence, especially when the government is perpetrating the violence. This is about the progression of the communist state in Venezuela. Read it and weep for Venezuela.
