Some backers of Brazil’s new right-wing government say the best response to this week’s school shooting is more guns in schools

SÃO PAULO—When a gunman slaughtered 16 schoolchildren in Scotland in 1996, Britain effectively banned handguns. Australia, Canada, and Germany also tightened gun controls in response to their own brutal school massacres over recent decades. New Zealand is vowing tougher measures, too, in response to this week’s massacre in two Christchurch mosques.

But as Brazil reels from one of its worst-ever school shootings, the response from President Jair Bolsonaro’s right-wing administration and his supporters this week has been the...

classic stupidity! why not just issue glocks to 1st graders? i would tend to think they h/more brains than all of brazil's politicians :) i assume this world will survive the morons, yes u Chump, but w/ea passing day, just reading the news, i'm not as convinced as i once was :(

100 % correct ! Instead of sitting and getting peppered with bullets like in the video these innocent people might have had a chance to defend themselves . The gunman kept loading his gun like a video game while worshippers sat waiting to be hit . It was horrible !we need guns

More guns = HIGHER probability someone will get shot...

Is there a way to prevent gun violence by taking violence off of television and taking violence off of video games and helping children be raised properly by teaching people the proper way of raising children?

Ignorance in Brazil is widespread. And they mimic only those really stupid american concepts

Well we can see where less guns have taken the Western world.

We have here Donald Trump from South America. Sad for the Brazilians. 😢

No no no! Outlaw guns! THEN schools will be safe! (Sarcasm) Sorry. Couldn’t resist.

Dont make the mistake America made.....guns guns guns everywhere

Oh fuck

Of course, it’s common sense backed by fact. The other mosque that was attacked was ran off by one of the congregation with a gun. Duh.

When everyone has a gun then nobody has a gun

Yup

New Zealand Prime Minister says, 'Our gun laws will change' Mad world:

🙄🙄🙄

As a Brazilian, I have no words to express how sad I am to see that instead of learning that violence just triggers more violence, our Government prefers to promote Guns and the Gun industry, after all it is indeed a very profitable market for Gun manufacturers

Big smart

They are correct. The best way to stop an armed person committed to carrying out a violent act is with overwhelming opposing force.

Because the only way to effectively win against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Unarmed citizens are victims because they cannot defend themselves. Armed citizens have a shot to go home that night and be with their families...like it should be.

They're right. Switzerland has the lowest violent crime rate in the world and the highest armed citizen rate.

Good to know this disease of more guns isn't just an American thing...

Total stupidity. They should learn from the mistakes in the U.S. We have more guns than people and the mass shootings just keep on coming. More guns equal more deaths. Period! GOP realDonaldTrump MomsDemand

Agora vai ter robozinho chamando o TWJ de comunista. Vai vendo!

Tax payer is going to have to accept a rise in local taxes to pay for armed security stationed at each school. Problem solved. You’re welcome.

Sounds familiar, and horrible.

Proof that ignorance is shared equally around the world.

fashizim now governs brasil like u.s desires.

I think that's the right answer. You got to be able to defend yourself. The insurance against tyranny and guarantee safety of your family

I'm not a supporter but I couldn't help but commenting... This headline is not accurate... That's not exactly what was said. Is the The Wall Street Journal a trustful source of information?

Sounds familiar. Surely they’re headed down the same path as us. A new school shooting every few weeks.

And they would be 100% correct.

Technically, it would only need one to prevent that massive blood bath... but they prefer to sustain an ideology then properly solve problems!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

If they want to be victims of there own demise, let them

Well while we're at Drexler's glorifying the wing, maybe we can stop reading the newspaper too and start spending bond and making ourselves useful to mafias. Oh fucking wait.

They should at least have a security guard which a teaser or even a gun to protect or avoid this kind of terrorism.

Well GOD BLESS BRAZIL'S SCHOOLS MOR GUNS means safer schools

Where have I heard that before

jairbolsonaro

Common sense approved

It's no doubt that that's the best solution available.

Nice, fight a fire with gasoline.

Sounds familiar
