Comments for Brazil's Referendum on Gun Sales May Never Happen at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 5 out of 5 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:57:10 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/2978/1/#pc_1054 Any time the Antigunners come out they tell us how people should give up their lawfully owned property and their natural given rights to defend themselves because criminals could abuse such things. Basically what they are telling us is that our Liberties are dependant on the lowest common denominator...criminal behaviour. That our freedoms are somehow reliant on what criminals do is called Collective Responsibility and the resultant confiscation of our property is called Collective Punishment. Collective Responsibility and Collective Punishment were used heavily by Stalin, Hitler, and Mao. The basic theme of the anti-gunners is to remove guns from the hands of those who would do the most damage with them right? Then they can start with Governments, Militaries, and Police forces, who over the last 120years have collectively killed 170 million people who were all thusly disarmed by those very same Authorities. Don\'t fall for their fuzzy logic and false statistics. Antigunners present statistics like a bikini, they only show you want they want you to see while they leave out the important parts. Britian has banned many types of firearms while the USA has gone the other way and begun issuing concealed carry permits in many states. The violent crime rate in Britain is now 1400 / 100,000 population, a 300% increase from 1997; whereas the United States\' violent crime rate is now at 500 / 100,000 population, a drop of over 200% in the same time period. By this logic, when guns are outlawed in Brazil, then only outlaws will have them. The anti-gunner theory to crime control is to disarm the victims...don\'t let it happen in Brazil. - Guest Sun, 23 Oct 2005 19:46:22 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/2978/1/#pc_1040 The gun haters want guns banned to stop the criminals from owning and using them. However, that wont happen. The only way to remove a gun from the hands of a criminal is to shoot him first. Then shoot him again (anything worth shooting once is worth shooting twice). Once the criminal is lying dead, then you are free to remove the gun frm his hands. Now thats my idea of \"gun control\" What do you all think??? - Guest Fri, 21 Oct 2005 17:43:45 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/2978/1/#pc_507 I believe that all the people that agree with the sale of guns in Brazil; making so easy for anyone to obtain a gun. They are helping the criminals. They will only understand the situation when a love one, mother, daughter, son or any other close family member to get killed by a gun shot in the streets. Then, they will do something about...... - Guest Tue, 09 Aug 2005 10:56:16 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/2978/1/#pc_408 This is a waste of time and an attack on people who can legally own a gun! I agree with the comment above, criminals will always be able to get guns! Stop wasting tax payer money on non-solutions! - Guest Wed, 29 Jun 2005 10:13:27 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/2978/1/#pc_420 Criminals will always get guns. - Guest Tue, 28 Jun 2005 10:47:52 +0100
