Brazil...600% increase in legal firearm ownership equals a 34% DROP in the homicide rate

[Missourian]

Gun controllers stumped ... Scramble to make excuses...

"Nonetheless, Bolsonaro’s reforms produced a 600 percent increase in gun ownership. Yet despite all the dire predictions, homicides in Brazil plummeted.

In 2018, the year before he became president, the murder rate stood at 27.8 per hundred thousand people—5.5 times higher than the U.S. rate. But it fell in each consecutive year. By 2021, the third year of Bolsonaro’s presidency, it had dropped to 18.5 per hundred thousand—a 34 percent drop.

This is information the news media can’t get its head around. A new Washington Post article claims that criminologists believe the drop in homicides occurred despite Brazil’s increase in gun ownership, not because of it."

Would be better if there were a corresponding 600% drop in communists.

Why do we have such a high murder rate in legal states then?

Wyoming has one of the highest rates of gun ownership... yet has one of the lowest murder rates in the country.

Strange isn't it...like more guns has nothing to do with increased homicide rates... that there are actually other variables at play.

Easy one......
DEMOCRATS

 

[Vastator]

Easy one......
DEMOCRATS

Minorities. Remove their contributions to gun, and violent crime averages, and US violent, and gun crime averages bottom out. We don't have a gun problem. But no Lefties, or Dems have the fortitude to name the actual problem. Why? Because they don't actually see it as a problem. Rather... It's a prime opportunity to pad the books in order to fortify their argument for taking the guns from their political enemies.

There would be if they used their guns more.

So there. Sensible gun laws makes everyone happy. What are the gun laws ?
As of 2005 in Brazil, all firearms are required to be registered with the minimum age for gun ownership being 25. It is generally illegal to carry a gun outside a residence, and a special permit granting the right to do so is granted to certain groups, such as law enforcement officers.
Now, some restrictions are lifted BUT.
Requirements for possession such as passing training courses and background checks remain, as does the minimum age requirement of 25 years.

There's NONE OF THAT in the United a states..NONE.

Wow, the stupid is strong with you…….

Do you think the criminals who drive the gun murder in Brazil do any of those things?

Do you think that law abiding gun owners would simply murder people if those laws, red tape…nothing more….didn’t exist?

You are just one example of how stupid you anti-gun fanatics are…..

I'm not sure how reliable the epoch times are but I will say that the following youtube channel showcase a lot of incidents from Brazil and backs up Brazilian gun laws.
One example is how rampant motorcyle/scooter thefts are in Brazil. It's not uncommon to see a theft take place and victim of the attempted theft pulls out a guns and stops the theft, even if the perp isn't armed (but many are). Imagine that happening in the states, protecting self and property with a gun against an unarmed assailant. The liberals hair would catch on fire trying to justify the criminal activity.

Why do we have such a high murder rate in legal states then?

Because our politicians, especially one particular party, support and condone mental illness as a right.
