In reply to the discussion: Why does anybody need more than 7 bullets at a time? [View all]This EZLN member has more rounds in his rifle:
Of course, many if not most of them had only wooden make-believe rifles. And during the initial armed uprising they didn't shoot first but in self defense - but with arms they got attention and wave of global solidarity. And the rumor is, nowadays EZLN militants aren't packing any more.
A small Ecuadorian tribe just hoarded all the weapons they could got from bows and arrows to rifles, stating that they will defend their way of life and pacha mama by what ever means they have against oil company and gov't of Ecuador. They made global news and for time being, the oil company backed down.
