Brazil : weapons for all

The question is simple: Carry firearms in the hands of the citizens to be more security? Or, you create more violence? Brazil's new President, Jair Bolsonaro, believes to have the answer. This week he signed a decree that facilitates the acquisition of firearms in his violence-plagued country.

He fulfilled a Central campaign promise: "weapons for a good Brazilian." Bolsonaro, who comes from the military and extreme right-wing views, argued that law-abiding citizens should not face the Criminal defenseless. If you could defend yourself, acting the as a deterrent. Or is it the end in the ideal case, with the death of the Criminal. Bolsonaros trademark are two pistols shaped hands, one of his election slogans is: "A good Bandit is a dead Bandit".

The decree Bolsonaros allows Brazilians to buy up to four weapons and you keep in the household or in the workplace. To do this, you must meet certain criteria. The buyer must be at least 25 years old, he must have a job, a weapons course, and must have no criminal record. He still needs to specify why the weapon for him is necessary. To the note, to life in a Federal state, in which the murder rate is about ten per 100000 inhabitants is sufficient. The currently affects all of the 26 Brazilian States. The lowest murder rate in the rich of São Paulo (eleven); the highest in the poor Rio Grande do Norte (68). For comparison: In Germany, the homicide rate is about one. Are now fulfilled all the conditions, Brazil's Federal police to deny to the citizens the purchase of Weapons.

Opening of the arms market

In Brazil were murdered in the year 2017, nearly 64000 people, it was a new record. Nowhere else in the world so many people are killed. At the same time, the number of robberies, rapes and auto thefts increased. This increase in crime and the rage of many citizens concerning the inaction of the policy were important reasons for the election victory Bolsonaros, promised to make "short work" with Criminals. However, security experts point out that the majority of guns used by criminals were once legally acquired, but was then stolen or otherwise with her.

With the decree drew Bolsonaro order now his presidential powers, there is no need for the consent of the Parliament. At the signing, he cited a national survey from 2005, when 64 percent of Brazilians voted against a weapons ban. "The people has decided that it wants weapons and ammunition," said Bolsonaro, "and we can't deny what the people want."

Almost simultaneously with the signing of the decree Bolsonaros chief of staff, Onyx Lorenzoni, announced the Opening of the Brazilian weapons market for foreign manufacturers. Then, the share of the domestic arms manufacturer Taurus crashed, had made to the office Bolsonaros a huge price jump.

It is now safe to say that in the Brazilian Parliament for further liberalisation laws on the possession of weapons are introduced. So there is likely to be soon discussed on the permit for public Carry of weapons. You will also be requested from Bolsonaro. Decent citizens will be denied a democratic right, as it applies in the United States, argued the President.

Bolsonaros decree was enthusiastically welcomed by Brazil's arms industry, as well as speakers from the military police and the army. Security experts doubt, however, strongly of its intended effect. The Brazilian Forum for Public security (FBSP) criticized the vague rules of the decree. It is completely unclear how the information of a citizen should be reviewed. The Whole thing is a risky bet is the fact that private self-solve defense, the issue of public safety.
