    I realize that there is a two year old thread about Brazil contemplating loosening firearm restrictions (https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?228218&p=5346440#post5346440), but with current results in, this seems worth a new one...

    Brazil has not had a homicide rate this low since 1995, before the highly restrictive gun law of 1997 was passed.

    (emphasis mine)

    When translated to homicide rates, the rate dropped 17% in 2018, then 23% more in 2019. The population of Brazil in 2019 was 210 million. The rate of homicides per 100,000 was 19.83. That is less than 2/3 of the homicide rate in 2017, which was 30.8.
