Answer:
Hemenway, an expert on the public health impact of gun violence and director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, was interviewed on Science Vs, a podcast that looks at fads, trends, and opinions to uncover what’s actually true.
Hemenway noted that one commonly cited statistic about guns—that 2.5 million people use them each year to defend themselves or their property — is based on faulty analysis from a 1990s study. A more reliable source of information, the National Crime Victimization Survey, pegs the number of people who use guns in this manner at roughly 100,000, according to Science Vs podcast host Wendy Zukerman. Hemenway added that there is no good evidence that using a gun in self-defense reduces the likelihood of injury. There is some evidence that having a gun may reduce property loss, “but the evidence is equally compelling that having another weapon, such as mace or a baseball bat, will also reduce the likelihood of property loss,” he said.
Addressing gun lobby assertions that crime is deterred when more law-abiding citizens carry guns, Hemenway said the evidence says otherwise. He said that even though more and more Americans are carrying concealed guns each year—the result of more states passing ‘right-to-carry’ laws—research has not uncovered a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the prevalence of guns and the U.S. crime rate. However, he noted, the presence of more guns does make crimes more violent. “What guns do is make hostile interactions—robberies, assaults—much more deadly,” he said.

Answer:
El Gobierno Imperial, a través del 37 y último gabinete ministerial, fue inaugurado el 7 de junio de 1889, bajo el mando del presidente del Consejo de Ministros del Imperio, Afonso Celso de Assis Figueiredo, vizconde de Ouro Preto del Partido Liberal, Al percibir la difícil situación política en la que se encontraba presente, presentó en un último intento desesperado por salvar el Imperio a la Cámara de Diputados, un programa de reformas políticas que incluía, entre otras, las siguientes medidas: mayor autonomía, libertad administrativa para las provincias ( Sistema federal), sufragio universal, libertad de educación, reducción de prerrogativas del Consejo de Estado y mandatos no vitalicios para el Senado Imperial. Las propuestas del vizconde de Ouro Preto apuntaban a preservar el régimen monárquico en el país, pero fueron vetadas por la mayoría de diputados de tendencia conservadora que controlaban la Cámara General. El 15 de noviembre de 1889, la república fue proclamada por los militares positivistas apoyados por la élite agraria resentida por no haber sido compensada por la abolición de la esclavitud.
