ベネズエラ政府は9月29日、政府に銃器を提出した市民には、奨学金や医薬品、手術費用などを提供すると発表した。市中に出回る銃を減らすことで、犯罪の減少に繋げたい考えだ。南米メディアのpulzoによると、事業では3億ボリバル（約52億円）の基金を設立し、国内の60カ所に銃器の回収所を設けるなどの施策を進めるという。

ミゲル・ロドリゲス・トーレス内務相はこの日、地元テレビ局に出演し「武器の流通を断つことは、暴力や犯罪の減少につながる」と述べ、事業を1年は続けて多くの武器を集めたいとする考えを明らかにした。

これに先立ち、ニコラス・マドゥロ大統領は9月21日、「平和なユートピア・ベネズエラを、私たちの夢を追求しよう」と述べるとともに、武器の放棄は、若者の良心からうまれるべきとの考えを示している。

なお、ベネズエラは人口10万人あたりの殺人発生率が2011年の47.8件から、2012年には53.7件となり、ホンジュラスに次いで世界で2番目に危険な国とされている。

同国での銃器の所持は許可制となっているが、実際は違法に取引された銃器や「レンタルけん銃」などが依然として相当数出回っているとされ、外務省は「（ベネズエラの）治安機関が犯罪者と対峙した場合には、必ずと言って良いほど犯罪者グループとの銃撃戦が始まり、一般市民が巻き添え被害を受ける場合も少なくありません」と、渡航には注意を促している。

Members of the National Police clash with anti-government protesters in Caracas on February 22, 2014. Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets of Caracas in marches for and against President Nicolas Maduro\'s government Saturday, as the nation\'s massive divide became ever more evident. The protests -- which began on February 4 -- are seen as the biggest test yet to socialist leader Maduro since he succeeded late leftist icon Hugo Chavez last year, with the country\'s economic problems at the heart of often bloody marches that have left 10 people dead and scores injured.
