Interesting article,
"Brazil racked up nearly 64,000 homicides in 2017, the highest overall number in the world. Over 70% of those were committed with firearms, widely available to criminals on the black market. Here in São Paulo, a megalopolis of 12 million people, over a quarter of residents say they have been held up at gunpoint at some moment in their lives, according to a study this year by the city’s business school Insper."
Brazil has strict gun laws, restricting citizens from legally owning weapons yet the criminals seem to have ample supply via the black markets. Why is this simple fact so difficult for the left to understand... Criminals do not obey laws!

That truly is the only answer. When citizens can defend themselves, criminals are a lot less likely to provoke violence.

The answer IMO is to enforce the laws... but then we infringe on somoene's rights.
