Brazil's vote for gun rights and against the ban is a great thing.
Please note that this ban of all firearms was enacted in Brazil in 2003. The vote this week was of the people of Brazil to essentially reject what their legislature did back in 2003.
After the ban passed the brazilian legislature in 2003, Brazil changed their crime reporting methods. That change showed a drop in "gun deaths" from 39,000 to 36,000 in 2004.
But the people of Brazil saw firsthand that their crime rate was increasing.
One can only presume that's why they voted down the ban when they finally had the chance.
Congrats to the people of Brazil! Moreover, this deals another defeat to Lula's corrupt left-wing government.
Life is good.
