ORIGINAL: thompsonx My understanding is that everyone in cuba is armed and their murder rate is dramatically less than the u.s.. I don't think so, Thompson. See e.g. http://www.examiner.com/article/cuba-s-forced-amnesty-demonstrates-tyrannical-intent-of-gun-control : Cuba is " . . . a state where almost no one except some active military personnel and plain-clothed state security agents are allowed to possess weapons." The article seemed a little long on opinion and a little short on facts. Below is a portion of the cuban constitution. Don't bother to look neither oz or the u.s. chose to include this particular safeguard in their constitutions. “When no other recourse is possible, all citizens have the right to struggle through all means, including armed struggle, against anyone who tries to overthrow the political, social and economic order established in this Constitution.”
