Lula signs decree tightening Brazil's gun laws, reversing Bolsonaro's policies
- Lula's decree reduces the number of guns civilians can legally own and limits ammunition purchases.
- The decree bars civilians from owning 9mm pistols, restricting them to police and military.
- It undoes the significant increase in legal gun ownership under previous president Bolsonaro.
- The new rules encourage citizens to relinquish newly restricted guns or face confiscation.
- The Federal Police becomes the watchdog over firearms, replacing the military in that role.
