    After all, look at Brazil, they have some very strict gun control laws. Thus, it is simply not possible for criminals to get guns if guns are outlawed! If they could, what would be the point of gun control laws?

    Right, because this thread was about gun control....

    Mafiosi gangs in Sicily claim many lives, but I guess probably not that quickly and openly.

    Sorry. I do not want to drag this into another gun control thread.

    It sprang into my head after reading that police officers were forbidden to buy more ammunition.

    Anyways, back on topic-I'm surprised they haven't sent the military in to the city. It sounds like near anarchy.

    I'm not a military expert, but both parties prefer to use guerrilla tactics, thus it will be not a good option to send the military. Besides sending people trained to kill into a heated terrain with many innocents in it will be a very bad choice IMO.

    Erm, Sao Paolo is not the capital of Brazil, last I heard. I assume the word you're looking for is "Metropolis" or simply "city," which will indicate a particularly urban area with a particularly high concentration and therefore a lot more slums and "bad neighborhood" than usual.

    And yes, Sao Paolo was messed up. But hey.

    Weren't you near Brazil? Do you have family near there? Believe or not, when I heard about this, you were the first person I thought of!

    Funny how violence can do that to ya. As much as we all whack at each other via politics, I really would hate to hear of a tragedy to an org member....

    So it appears that you are correct , I have absolutely no idea about some imaginary legislation that sprang into your head

    Not restriction just upon the police, but restrictions on anybody buying more than a certain (low) amount of ammunition each year.

    Would you like a rope to pull yourself out of that hole you've dug yourself into?

    In conclusion, my initial statement was correct.
