Why we have the Second Amendment

JJ Sefton's Morning Report leads with,

The Venezuela crisis tops all news for this first day of May. President Trump and his administration, most notably Secretary of State Pompeo and National Security Adviser Bolton, are throwing unequivocal support behind opposition leader Juan Guaido and are renewing the call for Nicolas Maduro to leave. According to Pompeo, the corrupt commie was all set to jet off to Cuba when Vladimir Putin reportedly told him to stay put. Obviously, this is 100% proof positive that Trump is colluding with Russia, right Schiff-for-Brains? In any case, thousands are taking to the streets to protest the regime, which has caused the latter to violently crackdown. Yesterday saw what is being described as a "Tiananmen Square moment" where protestors have been run over by government vehicles. Funny how Bernardo Sandersnista and Chiquita Kruschev are strangely silent about that.

We've got links covering the news as of late last night as well as a rather topical piece in the Second Amendment section where people bemoan the government's confiscation of citizen-owned firearms 10 years ago. For those not aware, it was the first thing Hitler and Stalin, and many others of their ilk, did the moment they seized power, and it's what their fellow travelers in the Democrat-Socialist Party are itching to do. Remember, the only thing gun control controls is the people. As for Venezuela, despite some defections, the military is still backing the regime and Maduro is also tripling the size of some sort of civilian militia, arming them to the teeth, ironically with much of the weaponry seized from the civilian population. Circling back, we all know that Maduro must go. The only thing up for debate is how to go about excising that cancer. Aside from the immiseration of his own people, the Venezuelan regime is a destabilizing element in the entire hemisphere and their extremely close alliance with Iran, as well as its proxies in Hezbollah, cannot be allowed to continue for obvious national security reasons. Does that mean I support invading Venezuela with US troops? No. But a ramping up of all pressure short of direct open armed intervention is required, IMHO. The situation is still fluid, so stay tuned for more updates as and when they happen.
