2 June 2012, the Venezuelan government imposed a total ban on gun sales: “We are going to make serious efforts as President Chavez has done for the security of our citizens. We’re going to continue to fight against criminals and more importantly against what causes violence.”-Elias Jaua, Vice President of Venezuela

Anti-gun laws don’t work!  A 1 June 2012 report out of the U.S. anti-gun state of California proves it!

The U.S. Attorney General’s office revealed that their investigation showed that California cops are selling guns to the public. Those guns are illegal for California’s civilian population under California law!

So law enforcers are behind illegal gun sales in anti-gun California!  California cops are using their legal rights to buy guns, which are legal for cops but illegal for civilians, and then turning around and selling the guns to the public at as much as a triple profit!

After a shootout in San Francisco in February 2011, investigators discovered that the fugitive had 20 guns, 12 of which were illegal under California law. To their surprise they traced two machine pistols back to a Sacramento County sheriff’s deputy!

Further investigations revealed that some California cops were regularly selling illegal weapons, including .50 caliber (12.7 mm) guns!  The .50 caliber bullet will take your head off, and punch through armored cars, no problemo.

The Sacramento District Attorney revealed that California cops are also altering the already illegal guns, making them more lethal!

Here’s the amazing thing, the California government has not arrested these cops, they’ve simply been charged with a crime.  Some have been fired from their jobs, others have been placed on paid leave.

This is proof that anti-gun laws don’t do what they’re supposedly intended to do, that is reduce gun violence.  By the way, back to Venezuela, note that the vice presidente inferred that the violence in his country was because of guns. Hello, people cause violence, not guns!  This is also justification for the U.S. Constitution’s 2nd Amendment which demands that people of the United States be able to equip themselves with the weapons of the day (“arms”) in order to protect themselves, even to protect themselves from their own cops!!!

“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”-2nd Amendment, ratified December 1791

“I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”-Oath of Enlistment U.S. military

Note: In respect to the U.S. Constitution’s 1st Amendment, you are not required to say “So help me God.”
