Bolsonaro signs executive order easing gun imports
May, 09, 2019 Posted by datamarnewsWeek 201920
Earlier this week Brazil’s president signed a decree to increase the amount of ammunition a person can buy and reduce restrictions on gun imports. Guns can now be imported more easily; prior to the new rules which will take affect in 30 days, imported guns were not allowed if Brazil manufactured a similar product. The limit on ammunition purchases has been raised from 50 to 5,000 cartridges for normal guns, and 1,000 cartridges per year for restricted weapons, including large-caliber and semiautomatic weapons that are limited to military and police use.
The decree will take effect next month to allow time for discussions about tax issues for imported guns with the Economy Ministry, according to Bolsonaro.
