Brazilian Gun Ban Referendum |

Monday, 24 October 2005 |
The MSM, the left, and the gun banners won't admit it but this is a
MASSIVE repudiation of their gun ban agenda. Even in a country with a
murder rate as bad as Brazil, people are unwilling to give up their
tools of defense.
Dave Kopel has some excellent commentary here.
The
overwhelming public rejection of disarming innocent citizens may be
playing an important role in the development of rights consciousness in
Brazil. Consider this comment from an American working for a Brazlian gun prohibition group:
“Their whole campaign (against the ban) was imported from the United
States. They just translated a lot of material from the NRA. Now, a lot
of Brazilians are insisting on their right to bear arms, they don’t
even have a pseudo right to bear arms. It’s not in their Constitution,”
said Jessica Galeria, an American who researches gun violence with the
Viva Rio think tank.
The UN, Soros et. al.
might have created the unintended consequence of a Brazilian public
with a concious desire for an explicit right to keep and bear arms.
Jessica Galarea might complain that the opposition to the gun ban was
imported from the US but glare over the fact that the gun ban itself
was created by international forces. The key player behind the
ban after all was IANSA:
IANSA’s work has been supported by funders including the Governments of
UK, Belgium, Sweden and Norway, as well as the Ford Foundation,
Rockefeller Foundation, Compton Foundation, Ploughshares Fund, John D.
and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Open Society Institute, Samuel
Rubin Foundation and Christian Aid.
They left out an important name from that list. George Soros. He is one of the chief benefactors of IANSA. IANSA
is the motivating force behind the UN's conference on small arms.
Brazil was just a trial run for IANSA who is after a global ban on all
personally owned weapons. Brazil was to the global gun ban
movement what New Jersey is to the US gun ban movement. A petri
dish. A crucible of gun ban tactics. A trial run before
rolling out their agenda on a larger scale.
Check out this article
by Glen Reynolds on making RKBA the next international right. So
far, one notable side effect of gun ban activities foreign and domestic
is that they seem to be raising the awaremenss of gun ownership as a
human right. What we need is an international gun rights lobby.
