"Venezuela has extremely strict gun laws that for the most part prevent legal ownership for citizens. Gun ownership is restricted to military, police, and other authorized groups, however these bad guys were still able to get them. Don't forget that bad guys don't follow the law."

"We are so desensitized. This should not be normal at all."
