Some interesting pictures from Venezuela, the country where Hugo Chavez banned guns.
The following is what The Guardian wrote when they reported the gun ban:
Venezuela has brought a new gun law into effect which bans the commercial sale of firearms and ammunition.
Until now, anyone with a gun permit could buy arms from a private company.
Under the new law, only the army, police and certain groups like security companies will be able to buy arms from the state-owned weapons manufacturer and importer.
The ban is the latest attempt by the government to improve security and cut crime ahead of elections in October
Venezuela saw more than 18,000 murders last year and the capital, Caracas, is thought to be one of the most dangerous cities in Latin America.

That was in 2012, so what happened afterwards? “…the Venezuelan Violence Observatory, said killings rose to 24,763 last year [2013].”

Less guns, more crimes. Good luck fighting for your freedom, Venezuela. When only cops and criminals have guns, you have no chance.
