There are some other important variables that differ between Brazil and Switzerland. Poverty, income inequalities, just to name a few. So it's hard to apply the same logic.
Also, most of the industrialized nations didn't adopt the same doctrine regarding drugs as the United States and Latin America -- another important factor.
- superkuh 6y agoThe title and the article both imply that "Evidence from Brazil" can be applied to other countries. I'm glad you agree that this isn't true.

- myth2018 6y agoActually, I don't agree that this isn't true. I just say this isn't _necessarily_ true, since other factors beyond the firearm policy must be taken in account. Then, brazilian data could be applied to other countries, provided the other relevant factors be similar. Besides, I'm much more concerned about applications on the other way around, i.e., about those who imply that examples from other countries apply to Brazil.
