i don't know if there are 400 million guns loose in Brazil, but I'd imagine there are quite a few.

Abortion was not illegal in the 18th century. It was not against the common law of England as of 1776 or 1783 or 1789 depending on when you start the clock. It certainly wasn't regulated at the time the constitution was ratified. And even if it was, doctors put leaches on people to bleed them as appropriate medical care.The SCOTUS' reasoning for overturning it goes against everything I learned in Con Law. It's so elementary school reasoning. Pathetic reflection of the body.
Apply the same logic to automatic weapons, they weren't around in 1792 so no constitutional right to them. Or the Internet.

I looked it up recently to counter one of those "this just means we need more guns" assholes. The US is fast and away the leader in guns in circulation. Next is India with 71 million guns. Brazil is 6th with 17.5 million or about 8 for every 100 people. The US is 120 guns for every 100 people.
