Brazil centrist Alckmin attacks far-right election rival in anti-gun ad

Brazil centrist Alckmin attacks far-right election rival in anti-gun ad Reuters By Anthony Boadle BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil's business-friendly presidential candidate Geraldo Alckmin unveiled a campaign ad against gun violence on Thursday that targeted his far-right pro-gun adversary Jair Bolsonaro. The ad, copied from a British ad used in the 2007 "Guns kill: Kill guns" campaign, shows a bullet smashing through a glass of milk, books and fruit, stopping before a child's head with the message "Bullets are not the solution." The front-runner for the Oct. 7 election, Bolsonaro advocates easing gun controls to allow Brazilians to own guns and defend themselves from criminals, besides giving police carte blanche to shoot and kill armed suspects.
