Honestly that might have ended up being a good thing though depending on how this plays out. At least in terms of the human cost.

Yes, they did take people's guns away.
"Guns would have served as a vital pillar to remaining a free people, or at least able to put up a fight," Venezuelan teacher Javier Vanegas told Fox News. "The government security forces, at the beginning of this debacle, knew they had no real opposition to their force. Once things were this bad, it was a clear declaration of war against an unarmed population."
"Fox News noted that when only 37 firearms were voluntarily turned in, Venezuela's socialist government went around and forcefully confiscated thousands of firearms from its citizens."
