"For the first time in 13 years Brazil has seen a fall in the number
of deaths caused by firearms.
Last year 36,000 people were killed by guns - a drop of 8% from 2003,
according to the health ministry.
The government says the change is due to innovative disarmament
measures, including a gun buy-back scheme.
The figures were released on Friday, seven weeks before a national
referendum on whether to ban outright the sale of guns."
