"We didn't lose because Brazilians like guns. We lost because people don't have confidence in the government or the police..."
That's what I like to hear, except the part about them not liking guns.
I suspect the guy quoted doesn't like them , but Brazilians in general like them just fine. They certainly make some pretty nice ones. Rossi, Taurus, and Imbel are some of the more familiar names of Brazilian gun makers.
