In the 1700s, some of the best minds in history debated natural law for decades. One of their conclusions was that we have a natural right to self-defense. This recognition led to enshrining that right in our Second Amendment a few years later. I’m glad another country is starting to see the light.
I've been to Brazil. There are places where cops will not go. Some are corrupt, others scared. But those slums are unpoliced and run by the bad guys. The result isn't a bunch of protection shakedowns and no crime as long as you pay, it's murders in absurd levels, levels that make Chicago look like nothing. Of course people are hoping somebody will take it seriously and do something, anything.
