Police hunted through the shantytowns of Rio de Janeiro on Saturday to try to recover nearly 100 fake guns they fear could be used in real robberies...In other words, fake guns were stolen from a fake activity memorializing a fake government program...
The guns were being used for a movie called Tropa de Elite about special units working to contain drug traffic in Rio de Janeiro's shantytowns.
This isn't the first time we've visited Brazil here at WarOnGuns...

You forgot to mention the fake U.S. CIA/DEA backing of the 'pogrom'.
I hope they start arresting people who draw pictures of guns! They could be stolen and used to intimidate people!
