Good news in Brazil!

[beerslurpy]

total costs to obtain a legal portable arm provision: $1950

These are basic minimums, not counting the legalities of certain arms. No weapons may be bought with a "military round" (anything over .38 for a handgun, no shotguns over 20ga, etc.) A permit is required to purchase ammunition.

Wow, brazil has a long way to go. I know that very few people in USA would pay 2k for a permit. In FL ours is about 100 dollars for 5 years with cheaper 5 year renewals thereafter.

And no 45 caliber hansguns or 12 gauge shotguns? Jesus. Even the CA legal corner of my gun collection would be illegal there.

I am glad it failed BUT

If it would have passed then the effects of the ban would have been usable in any future arguments about gun control. The crime rate would have risen proving very clearly that a ban has a bad effect on crime. Then if they would have overturned it 5 years down the road and crime went down then it would be even more proof.

:banghead:

Don't we have plenty of examples of this already?

We've been through this - the anti's don't respond to facts and hard data.
