Countries with more enlightened gun laws
Do tell: In the wake of a gun ban, Venezuela sees rising homicide rate
It’s also probably got to do with the communism.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

The last two sentences in the article:
“When the public is disarmed, ordinary criminals have greater impunity to rob and murder the innocent. So do criminal governments.”
Exactly!

With respect, I think you’ve got it just backwards.
The laws forbidding private ownership of firearms were a root cause in Venezuelan Civil Unrest. The federal troops were armed, the civilians were not, and so the unbearable depredations upon the general populace led to a grass-roots movement to arm citizens.
This isn’t evidence of “ordinary criminals” robbing, and not necessarily “criminal” governments.
It’s just a ruling government which has become enamored of its power, and unwilling to concede civil rights to the ruled.
The civilians are fighting for a just cause; Freedom.
Criminals … both “entrepreneurs” and “Federalistas” are fighting for power and money.
