Gun Ban Vote In Brazil

Saw in the Sunday Oregonian newspaper that a national vote on banning gun sales occurs in Brazil this week. Anti-Gun people are using the same arguments that they have used in the US, UK, Australia that taking away guns from law abiding citizens makes the world - and their little corner of it - safer. In the USA the courts have determined that the police are there to enforce the law, not necessarily there to protect you from crime. If by being there they stop it great, but they are not obligated to protect an individual from harm if they do not have the people to do so. After all, a restraining order on paper that a woman puts in front of her assailant will stop that person instantly and they will leave after they had broken into her house to harm her. Isn't that the same piece of paper Chancellor Adolf Hitler of Germany gave to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of the United Kingdom in Munich that prevented World War II?
