According to the polls, what will happen to gun shops in Brazil? [br] [original

Brazilians went to the polls to answer a simple question: should the sale of guns and ammunition be banned? They were urged to vote ’yes’ by the government, the Catholic church and the United Nations. But instead, by close to two to one, they voted ’no’, which, means gun shops will remain open and, as now, anyone over twenty-five will be able to buy a firearm, subject to background checks.

A crowd of some 35,000, including U.S. First Lady Laura Bush and Italian film legend Sophia Loren, filled the Olympic Stadium. More than 4,700 performers, including fast-moving skaters with fiery rocket packs, dancers and even dancing cows opened the festivities. Some 2,600 athletes from more than 80 countries and territories marched into the stadium accompanied by American pop music from the 1970s and 1980s.
