Cuba gives its citizens 2 months to register guns

Cuba has declared a two-month amnesty for citizens to register unlicensed guns, and says those passing aptitude and psychological tests will be allowed to keep their weapons.
Yeah, right.
Cubans were encouraged to register any weapons they owned in the years after Fidel Castro and his band of rebels toppled dictator Fulgencio Batista on Jan. 1, 1959. But later authorities used a list of those who had sought licenses to go door-to-door and encourage them to turn over their firearms - even antiques considered family heirlooms.
Fool me once...

H/T to Uncle.

Yeah, right.

Hmmm, I would think Cuba would say that having said unregistered gun is de facto proof of failure of the tests.
