About: The Irrationality of Giving Up This Much Liberty to Fight Terror - Conor Friedersdorf - The Atlantic

The relatively low number of deaths by terrorism leads to the conclusion that we should relax with the prevention and repression of terror? If there are more deaths from firearms, despite your numbers mix homicides and accidents resulting from its use ... This means that arms control must be done, but the fight against terrorism should not be treated the same way?

His criticism of "suppression of civil liberties" only serves to combat terrorism, but not the same as gun control or vehicle accidents? If the issue is the threat to civil liberties, you should not get angry any control over the freedom, even when it came to the exercise of freedom that led to the deaths in traffic and the misuse of weapons too? Or in your perception of things, the criticism only serves to criticize conservative minds?

My country, Brazil carries the shameful fourth highest murder rate in the world, our homicide rate has more than doubled in 30 years (259% in three decades), although we severely restrict personal use and general firearms and lax laws created by liberal minds, whose age of criminal responsibility is 18 years! Remember that without repression, terrorism will only tend to increase. Is necessary discussion and reformulation of this repression? Ok, but not eliminate it. Be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater, or want to have a vision of hell from public safety to come live in Brazil ...

Novamente, o desarmamento / Again, the disarmament

Tragédias como esta G1 - Apartamento de atirador de 'Batman' é armadilha de explosivos, diz polícia - notícias em Mundo geralmente ensejam debates acalorados sobre o controle de armas. Mas, o atirador do cinema não era um simples portador de arma de fogo e sim alguém que acumulava material explosivo ilegalmente. No texto abaixo, Bene Barbosa analisa o que usualmente não se comenta, o vínculo entre tais tragédias e transtornos mentais.

Sobre armas, leis e loucos

Como sempre acontece, o mais recente ataque contra um grupo de vítimas indefesas, desta vez em um cinema nos EUA, onde 12 pessoas foram mortas, reacende a sanha dos desarmamentistas americanos, dentre os quais o prefeito de Nova Iorque, Mike Bloomberg, um dos expoentes políticos americanos que acham terem nascido com o dom de saber o que é melhor para mundo todo.
