There are a lot of other examples of Western countries who went the other way, who had the same drop in homicides. If we're going to accept this example without qualifiers, we should do the same for the others.
Did those countries have the same initial homicide rate as Brazil?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Ah so now we're talking about qualifiers. Again, if you're going to cherry-pick the ones that support your point and ignore the ones that don't, well, you can do that I guess but I don't see the point of it.

No, what we are looking for is the impact of firearms and self-defense on a country without a right to self-defense and a high homicide rate.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

My Brazilian experiment went south
I see what you did there.
Sounds like a rip-off to me.

No surprise you guys find an opportunity to wax salacious at a time like this.
