Brazil's Gun Ban Voted Down

October 28, 2005 | ISSUE 41•43

  • Good. Without a heavy dose of pain and sorrow, Brazilian music wouldn't be worth listening to.

  • Sometimes, being number one in the world in murder rates is better than not being number one in anything at all.

  • This bit of news will greatly aid in my stereotyping of Brazilians as not only a party-crazy, bikini-waxing people, but also as a gun-loving one.
