Venezuela is a good example of why citizens need guns

In 2012, Venezuela instituted a new gun law banning the commercial sale of firearms and ammunition; only the army, police and security companies could buy arms from the state-owned weapons manufacturer and importer. Venezuela’s economy has plummeted, leading to massive shortages of food and medicine. During the nationwide protests, six people have been killed, including a 17-year-old boy who was shot in the head. Add Venezuela to the long list of countries where citizens have been told to surrender their arms, only to find that they were left vulnerable at a later date.

Actually it's a better example of the need for limited government

Also, good example of why dictatorships are bad.

One big problem in America is that too many of the citizens only view the government as benevolent and never think that they can become malevolent.
