Brazil looking to the U.S. for answers on crime. Allow people to defend themselves...

What a radical concept!

50 rounds of ammunition a month

Need much more than that for proper training and practice.

Brazil has a very high murder rate in their cities, and only criminals have guns. Bad combo.

Brazil's Free Zones Ending.

Criminals deeply sadden.

The last article I reado n this brazil was contemplating allowing people to own guns to protect themselves against the thieves-

[Bob434]

woops- posted too soon- They found out that where gun ownership is highest, crimes are usually lowest- (common sense really)-

Hopefully they allow people the right to own guns, violence goes down, and they become an irrefutable case study in common sense to shut the gun confiscation advocates up once and for all

Illegal homemade and small shop submachine guns are common in Brazil.

The old laws didn't work so why do they think the new laws will?

[Ancesthntr]

Brazil only has 6-8 million legal guns, and they are heavily restricted. Brazil’s population is over 200 million. The Homicide rate is 25.2 per 100,000, six times as high as that in the United States.

Meanwhile, the US has about 400 million legal guns, and they are generally NOT heavily restricted, and out homicide rate is 1/6 of Brazil's.

So, quite clearly, less guns = more crime.

I can't wait until my next argument with an anti-gun jackass (but I repeat myself).
