Brazilians reject gun sales ban Monday 24 October 2005, 11:15 Makka Time, 8:15 GMT
Brazilians have soundly rejected a proposal to ban gun sales in a national referendum that has stirred a fierce debate in a country with one of the world's highest gun-related death rates. With more than 95% of the votes counted on Sunday, 64% of Brazilians were opposed to the ban, while 36% backed it, said officials at the Supreme Electoral Court. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/5C4EC2D2-16CD-483A-A70C-C5A5522922DE.htm -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
