  • Brazil implements stricter gun control measures: Reports

On Friday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took steps to tighten civilians' access to firearms, reversing the previous policies of his predecessor Jair Bolsonaro, as reported by local media. The new gun control measures, outlined in a decree, aim to reduce the number of firearms and ammunition available to civilians.

Before the decree, civilians in Brazil could purchase up to four firearms and 200 rounds per firearm annually. However, the new regulations limit firearm purchases to two per year and 50 rounds of ammunition per firearm. Additionally, civilians now need to justify their need to purchase firearms.

The decree also imposes restrictions on the acquisition of firearms and ammunition for hunters, shooters, and collectors, as well as limitations on shooting clubs.

In Brazil, where organized crime, gangs, and drug trafficking present significant threats, the issue of gun ownership and carrying is a sensitive and pressing concern.

Tightening civilians' access to firearms in Brazil is a crucial step toward lowering crime rates in the country. By reducing the number of firearms available to civilians and implementing stricter regulations, there will likely be a decrease in gun-related violence and criminal activities. 

Lula's dedication to addressing the socio-economic challenges of Brazil will seemingly leave a lasting impact on the nation's progress and improve the lives of  Brazilians.
