I agree with you but 20 years ago I would have also said that about gay blokes in the military and decriminalising marijuana. Both of those things have happened in the states and will flow through to the rest of the world baring weird backward thirld world countries like Saudi Arabia and Australia.

In the middle of the Cinton administration after the assult weapons ban you would have said that gun control will never get better in the states but it has.

Brazil is about to bring in US style gun laws because they already loose 20k people per year to violent crime and the criminals already have all the guns they want so why shouldn't everyone else be able to defent themselves?

Brazil Seeks To Copy U.S. Gun Culture

“Brazil is an extremely violent country and the state has failed to resolve this problem,” says Laudivio Carvalho of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, who guided the bill through a special committee of lawmakers, in a telephone interview. “The population needs the right to defend themselves, their family and their property as they are the ones being attacked. Ninety percent of assaults are being carried out with illegal weapons.”
