Citizens with guns is a threat to leftist doctrine.

Despite his own checkered human-rights track record, newly re-elected Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa this week slammed the U.S. Senate’s rejection of a proposal to expand federal background check regulations, asking “who had appointed the U.S. arbiter of good and evil to rule on human rights in other countries.”
Correa said the rejection of the gun bill amendment suggests the Senate can be easily swayed by the “immense power of the arms manufacturers” and lobbyists.
The Ecuadorian president, according to Human Rights Watch, is known for his efforts to “undercut freedom of the press in Ecuador by subjecting journalists and media figures to public denunciation and retaliatory litigation.”
Following a protest that turned violent, for example, Correa’s administration arrested 189 Indian leaders on the grounds that they were “saboteurs and terrorists.”
