Time is horrified. Apparently the idea of protecting yourself is foreign to the writers. The biggest issue here is that there is no peace in Brazil, no regard for the law. Firearms at least give the citizen a fighting chance, and this is recognized by all the people who buy firearms. Folks who are against gun ownership frequently have other protections available to them, such as guards. Remove these from all the "important people," and then see what they think. People here in the US are voting with their credit cards, despite what the anti-gun lobby says. I've never used my own gun in a personal confrontation, but I have been saved from confrontation by having a firearm visibly available. So was my Dad.

Agree 100%. Time went to great lengths to obfuscate the story with gobs of anti-gun people claiming murders will go up.
