Incentive?

In April, decrees issued by President Jair Bolsonaro came into effect with the aim of reducing bureaucracy and expanding access to firearms and ammunition in the country. One of the amended decrees was the 9.845/2019, which allows professionals the right to carry weapons, such as the Armed Forces, police officers, and members of the judiciary and the Public Ministry, to acquire up to six weapons of restricted use, the limit before was four weapons.
