Teruteru-

Thanks for the answers. I read that Venezuelans lost the freedom to own guns recently, under their communist dictator Hugo Chavez, an admirer of Castro.

Argentines seem to enjoy relative firearms freedom, and a Brazilian member told us how a collector permit helps a lot to own what you want there, but costs a lot. Brazilians rejected an attempted ban on guns a few years ago, but still can't carry easily.

In fact, even hunting there has been largely banned, except in the southern states like Rio Grande do Sul, if my memory is correct.

Good luck with the new law coming. Maybe it won't be too bad.
