If only Brazil had strong gun control.

Oh. Wait....

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_Brazil

...the Brazilian Department of Justice (Ministério da Justiça), which performs each individual's mandatory background check (which is made prior every gun acquisition, and every three years after it is acquired, which allows gun confiscation at the discretion of authorities), have been forbidding almost every citizen from buying guns, based on the Executive Order # 5.123, of 07/01/2004 (Decreto n.º 5.123, de 1º de julho de 2004), which allows the Federal Police to analyze the given reasons for owning a gun, under which "self defense" is not considered a valid reason because there are allegedly sufficient public police officers to maintain nationwide security.

Thus, disarmament is effectively happening in Brazil, as are massive gun confiscations...

Ah but it wasn’t officially the government that did it so it’s acceptable.

An average of 14 people were killed in interactions with police, up 20 percent from 2016.

Are their soccer players kneeling for their anthem?

Putting these numbers together and extrapolating them into the future, it looks like an average Brazilian male has about a 4% chance of being murdered in his lifetime.

That’s 175 murders every single day.

In an attempt to combat the murders Brazil seized 119,484 firearms, 94.9 percent of which weren't registered in the federal police system.

It doesn't appear that that did any good at all! A waste of police resources.

Some years ago (about 15 years) we spent time in Brazil.On our last full day there we took a day tour of a National Park near Rio called Tejuca National Park.

It was a very nice park located on one of the many hillsides (mountainsides?) around Rio and as we ascended the hillside the tour guide directed our attention to a nearby hillside littered with ramshackle shacks.She said it was a "favela" and that it was so dangerous the Brazilian Army doesn't attempt to enter it even in daylight!
