We have had \'isolated\' incidents with persons using guns, it still makes headline news. We do accept that people should be allowed guns to shoot for sport, though why they need to be kept at home and not at a \'secure\' gun club is a matter that is strange to me. In Brazil I can see a law that would make owning a gun illegal would only be adhered to by honest people who have no wish to inflict harm upon others. In reality the \'bad boys\' and \'gangsters\' would still carry guns and use them. It is a tragic side to Brazil, but there are no easy answers that I can see. The Americans consider it there right to have a gun, in most Europe we have \'grown up\' and do not see that owning a gun as a fundemental right. I beleive that in Brazil it is not a rights issue but a genuine \'fear\'. I would like to have seen a yes vote, as two wrongs do not make a right. How many criminals are killed by \'innocent\' people protecting themselves? - Guest Mon, 24 Oct 2005 03:56:53 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/4290/1/#pc_1057 39,325 Brazilians. That is a lot fewer than the unarmed Christians being slaughtered in Sudan, the unarmed Tutsi slaughtered in Rwanda, or the 6 million unarmed jews slaughtered in Nazi occupied Europe. 108 a day? Most of those people would be alive today if they\'d had their own gun. If someone breaks into your home at 3am and wants to kill you, what will you do? Call UNESCO? - Guest Mon, 24 Oct 2005 03:34:47 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/4290/1/#pc_1055 How the \"no\" won, I\'m very worry about the real situation about the use of arms in brazil.The brazilian\'s people is very blood hot and for anything is wanting to fight. - Guest Mon, 24 Oct 2005 02:04:19 +0100
