Fun fact: Brazil has very strict gun control laws.

- yesforwhat 8y agoSo does England. One has the ability to enforce them, the other doesn't. The point you are implying, that gun laws do nothing, is ridiculous.
- ulzeraj 8y agoYeap. Comparing a nation 35 times the side of the other which has cultural and economic differences is totally a valid point. There is also the fact that during a referendum about gun control the vast majority voted in favor of keeping their guns but the social democratic government chose to just ignore the results.
- sebleon 8y agoa) It is a fun fact, and b) I think their point was gun laws do nothing without enforcement
- ulzeraj 8y agoIf drug prohibition enforcement does not work why would people believe gun enforcement does?
- dragonwriter 8y agoBecause drugs and guns aren't similar products.
- kikoreis 8y agoYes. Are you claiming some form of correlation?
- paublyrne 8y agoSo do nearly all developed countries
- lhorie 8y agoBrazilians are generally extremely cynical about authority and the law. News about political scandals "acabando em pizza" and confrontations with the "policia de choque" are commonplace, and day-to-day life is filled with "dar um jeitinho" and "gambiarras". Under-the-table abortions happen all the time, politicians and police are assumed to be corrupt, invading land to steal ownership is a thing, etc.
