If only GW Bush can find some guys like this for the court.
The Supreme Court of Brazil has overturned a nationwide ban on gun
sales decreed earlier this year as part of a government program to
curb rising crime rates in Latin America's largest country.
Ruling on an appeal filed by the Liberal Social Party, the court's 11
justices have voted unanimously to overturn a June 21 decree that
banned the issuing of gun permits through the end of the year. The
decree in effect imposed a nationwide ban on firearm sales, because
nobody can buy a gun without a permit.
"Criminals don't buy their weapons in gun stores," Chief Justice
Carlos Velloso said, adding that the decree had no impact in curbing
crime in the nation where recent statistics say a killing takes place
every 13 minutes.

Gun</A> Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a
woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.
