How can I not understand it. We Cubans cannot speak freely because the government imprisons us with up to 20 years in jail. Do you think it is a crime to express yourself freely? Of course I understand what you mean. And you can't be more right. Greetings

Do you think if every moral and upstanding Cuban citizen owned a modern rifle, the Cuban government would think they could get away with putting you in prison for a good part of your life for saying something they didn't like? When governments have an effectively absolute monopoly of violence, they tend to do whatever they want to the people they pretend to serve.

Given the stakes you face, you don't feel like you need to reply. I think we're on the same page.

Socialists before the revolution: "Every worker must have a rifle! Every worker must speak out until we are heard!"

Dictators who take power after the revolution: "Not anymore though!"

Of course you are right. If the people of Cuba had guns, the dictatorship would have ended.
