Yea, I have a feeling that with ownership being as high as it is, that it would pass.

Quote from the article:
"But even if the referendum passes, not everyone will be disarmed. It won't apply to police, the armed forces, private security agents, gun collectors, sportsmen, hunters and anyone who can show he has a gun because his life is in danger.

Disarmament also wouldn't mean confiscation of guns and ammunition bought before the referendum, although it will restrict a Brazilian's right to carry a gun."

So just what is the referendum about, the right to carry only? Disarmament of criminals?

and anyone who can show he has a gun because his life is in danger.

I hate clauses like this! So it means that you need to be threatened, robbed, raped, or murdered ONCE before you can protect yourself!

I'm sorry, I'd rather protect myself from the FIRST offence, than suffer the conciquences!
