On October 23, 2005, Brazil held a country-wide referendum on article 35 of the Disarmament Statute to determine whether to approve or disapprove the article, which states in full, "The sale of firearms and ammunition is prohibited in the entire national territory, except to those entities provided in article 6 of this Law." ("Art. 35. É proibida a comercialização de arma de fogo e munição em todo o território nacional, salvo para as entidades previstas no art. 6o desta Lei."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LEI No 10.826, DE 22 DE DEZEMBRO DE 2003. )〕) The referendum failed by nearly ⅔ and that part of the statute was not enacted. The referendum and its date had been provided by the Disarmament Statute itself (art. 35, §1o).〔 During the drafting and development of the law, it had been decided that article 35 should be submitted to a referendum because of the importance of its subject. On July 7, 2005, the Federal Senate of Brazil promulgated legislative decree 780, which authorized the referendum. Article 2 of its decree stipulated that the public consultation should employ the following question: "Should commerce in firearms and ammunition be prohibited in Brazil?" ("O comércio de armas de fogo e munição deve ser proibido no Brasil?"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Decreto Legislativo no 780, de 2005 )〕) == Results == |- | |- | Results by Region |- | |- | Results by State |- | |} |} 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brazilian firearms and ammunition referendum, 2005」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
