The right to self-defense is a fundamental Human Right
Private gun ownership was banned in Venezuela in June 2012, but their homicide rate went from 73 per 100,000 people in 2012 to 82 per 100,000 people in 2015. A private organization, the Venezuelan Violence Observatory (OVV), puts the rate in 2015 at over 90 per 100,000 people. The US's homicide rate is about 6 per 100,000.
The Venezuelans are also losing their democracy. Maduro is arresting his political opposition on trumped up charges. Some of his opposition have “disappeared”. Their election system has been totally corrupted. The Venezuelans are now defenseless against Maduro’s abuses of power.
Another gun ban, another bad outcome: Venezuela homicide rate rose after 2012 ban on private ownership of guns - Crime Prevention Research Center
Venezuelan opposition leader "disappears" in government prison
Venezuela ruling party cracks down on opposition lawmakers
