Guns! Guns! Guns!

Good news: a Brazilian referendum to disarm law-abiding citizens was buried in a landslide. Better news: the anguished squealing of “anti-violence” natterers when the hippest country in Latin America voted square:

“The whole campaign (against the ban) was imported from the United States. They just translated a lot of material from the NRA,” said Jessica Galeria, a Californian who researches gun violence with the Viva Rio think tank, referring to the National Rifle Association. “Now, a lot of Brazilians are insisting on their right to bear arms, they don’t even have a pseudo right to bear arms. It’s not in their Constitution.”

The natives are demanding rights? Heaven forbid!
