Illicitly ‘homemade’ submachine guns feature very prominently in firearms seizures by police across South America, Brazil in particular. These weapons vary in their level of sophistication though a large number appear to be semi-professionally produced. In a recent study of over 14,488 firearms seized between 2011 and 2012 in Sao Paulo alone, 48% of submachine guns analyzed were reportedly homemade. Given the decent quality of many SMG clones, even that high statistic is probably significantly under reported.
The most frequently seized design for some time would appear to the be the model below. A workshop producing a variation among other machine pistols was the subject of a seizure by the authorities a few years back. There appear to be many variations in circulation, perhaps the design outsourced or copied by other illicit workshops. ‘Beretta – made in Italy’ is commonly seen stamped on these. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/650x235xtitlepicture-improguns.jpg.pagespeed.ic.e_R5Vb8Dno.jpg http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/390x270xbrazilianhomemadesmglarge-390x270.jpg.pagespeed.ic.6OdJHZFaD-.jpg http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/390x203xtfbhomemadesunmachinegun14-improguns-390x203.jpg.pagespeed.ic.B8t_PmWDpA.jpg http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/390x292xtfbhomemadesubmachinegunbrazil2-improguns-390x292.jpg.pagespeed.ic.OJcIVhsdjm.jpg http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/390x291xbrazilsmgsfgfgfhfhfh-390x291.jpg.pagespeed.ic.7pSdhdlHsP.jpg http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/390x237xtfbhomemadesubmachinegunbrazil12-improguns-390x237.jpg.pagespeed.ic.UclE0le1jV.jpg http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/390x295xBraziliansmgdccp-390x295.jpg.pagespeed.ic.tRO5dT2a5D.jpg http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/390x292xtfbhomemadesubmachinegunbrazil11-improguns-390x292.jpg.pagespeed.ic.dN1tvNqow9.jpg http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tfbhomemadesubmachinegunbrazil4-improguns.jpg http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/390x289xtfbhomemadesubmachinegunbrazil5-improguns-390x289.jpg.pagespeed.ic.bE2SkBq5_c.jpg
That’s the ticket!
Why didn’t anyone think of this before?
/sarc.
Yes! And post signs clearly marking the free fire, er, no gun zones (just don’t use a picture of gun in the sign).
wouldn’t printing the ‘G’ word scare some people needlessly? ;-)
Then we get rid of education…. Me thinks the Dems are working on this as we speak.
Instead of the word “gun”, use “loud shooty thingie.” Perhaps use “boomstick.” ;-)
Here’s the List of what we need to get rid of:
Metal
Plastic
Ceramic
Stone
Wood
Is that too much to ask for the safety of the Chillren?
Education was replaced with indoctrination a long time ago.
Is this some kind of a “build it here” “buy it here” program in Brazil?
I mean what’s wrong with the ubiquitous AK-47 series?
I can’t disagree with that.
That needs to change if we’re to get our country back, I’ve run into so many leftist parroting the same BS it’s not even funny.
Don't give the Leftists any ideas!
They may follow the same logic Climate Nazis and come up with a plan to get rid of the whole world!
How does a Climate Nazi end global warming? End civilization.
How does a gun control nut get rid of materials for making guns?
Blow up the Earth.
That would save us from any chance of someone having a gun!
The bad news is that this would make sense to many of them.
No. Not at all.
If it saves even ONE child’s life, it will ALL be worth it...
Lots of people drown. Better add water to the list—maybe even all liquids. Then eliminate all solids. It would be a gas.
The wording on the signs will have to be:
"You Are Entering an Evil-Which-Shall-Not-Be-Named-Free Zone"
What about air guns?
Or the U.S. government sells them to members of the drug cartels.
"Oh, a pointed stick? Gettin' all 'igh and mighty, are we?"
Hmm, ever heard of “potato guns”? We’ll need to get rid of potatos too.
Blowing up the Earth might be a little premature. After all, people can’t shoot guns without hands. If we just chop everyone’s hands off, we might be safe.
It is amazing how so many people think that criminals (ie, lawbreakers) will follow laws.
