Saw this picture...pretty nice looking Mosin M44 carbine this soldier has been issued, and he looks pretty happy. I wonder what kind of cool guns Maduro has to give his men?

sorry if this is posted in the wrong place...couldn't decide which forum was appropriate. Not really posting for the content of the article, just for the photo of the guy with the M44.

The right place. It is an RKBA issue.

Chavez and Maduro are in the same basket of deplorables as Brady..., Mom's..., etc...The entire Democratic Party and all the other gun grabbers. As a result of gun control only the criminals in Venezuela have guns, and that includes the government.

Actually,he is smiling because he can sell it on the black market to an American collector and get enough money to feed his family for a few days(although he doesn't appear to have missed many meals himself).

Gun Control and Venezuela= the place is literally awash with firearms--long has been. Fully a quarter of Venezuelans routinely carry guns. Big murder rate and high levels of violent crime.

The M44s probably are rejects from the Cuban MTTs from the Chávez period, perhaps supplemented by imports from the Ukraine and/or Russia. Cheap. Available.
