Brazil Govt.'s Disarmament Drive Plans for 2014 Football World Cup


Brazil wants to give free or cut-price 2014 World Cup tickets to people who hand in guns and use destroyed weapons to make goalposts.













The Brazil government's suggestions also include swapping official footballs and shirts signed by World Cup teams for weapons handed in to authorities.
Brazil's latest disarmament campaign began in May, one month after a former student stormed his old primary school in Rio de Janeiro and shot 12 pupils. Since then more than 20,000 guns have been handed in as part of an ongoing amnesty.
