Gun control in Brazil
"[9] In 2005, a large majority of Brazil's population voted against banning the sale of guns and ammunition to civilians in a referendum.[16] However, according to experts, this drop in the homicide rate was spurred by varying causes—such as individual states' policies, an aging population, and a truce between rival criminal organizations.[17] Former President Jair Bolsonaro is strongly in favor of repealing the disarmament law and allowing citizens to own and carry guns for defense.[19] The decree increases the valid gun ownership period from five to ten years and allows citizens to own up to four firearms.In order to own firearms, a citizen will have to provide proof of the "existence of a safe or a secure location for storage" of the weapon at home.
