Under the new law, only the army, police and certain groups like security companies will be able to buy arms from the state-owned weapons manufacturer and importer.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is taking an opiate "100 times more potent than morphine" to alleviate the severe pain caused by the spread of cancer in his bones, Spanish daily ABC reported Saturday, citing an "intelligence report."

In addition to that medication, known as "fentanyl," doctors also have prescribed "bisphosphonate to combat the metastasis" and "corticosteroids to alleviate the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy," the newspaper said.

Yeah, he's just about done. I wouldn't wish such a death on anyone.
