Sanity Restored...In Brazil
Today, 64% of voters in Brazil rejected a proposal to ban almost all guns in the country. This, in spite of tha fact that Brazil has one of the highest deaths by guns in the world.
Another nation today realized that banning legal gun ownership doesn't reduce crime, as it is incredibly easy to purchase a gun on the black market. In fact, most gun-control laws have little or no effect on crime at all, the Brady guns laws the best example of this. If you're a criminal, why on earth would you buy a gun from a legitimate gun store?
There is one way to reduce crimes; one that works and doesn't take guns out of the hands of citizens: Use a gun while committing a felony, you've just earned yourself a mandatory 20 year addition to your sentance. You can bet the family farm that gun violence will go down.
