BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazils right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro signed a decree on Tuesday to ease restrictions on gun imports and increase the amount of ammunition a person can buy.
The decree had initially been designed to ease restrictions for collectors, marksmen and hunters - allowing, for example, the carrying of loaded guns to shooting clubs - but was expanded to include other provisions.
Previously, imported arms were banned if there was a similar domestic-made product.
We also broke the monopoly, Bolsonaro said during a signing ceremony at the presidential palace. You couldnt import, and now we have ended this.
