Candidate Jair Bolsonaro is pushing for some rights to guns for self defense in Brazil.
The murder rate in Brazil has skyrocketed since extreme gun control was put into effect.
Most Western countries saw a remarkable drop in homicides from the early 1990s to the middle 2010s. Both Australia and the United States saw their homicide rates drop in half, in spite of their opposite approach to gun ownership and self defense.
Brazil’s homicide rate nearly doubled. Brazil attempted Australia’s approach of extreme restrictions on gun ownership in 2003. It did not work. Homicides leveled off for a few years, then climbed dramatically to the current levels near 40 per 100,000.
