Dino’s delay in revealing a new decree on weapons worries the opposition

Justice Minister Flávio Dino’s delay in revealing the new decree that will regulate the purchase of weapons and the licensing of sport shooters is causing apprehension among parliamentarians of the Chamber’s Security Commission. The decree has already passed through Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, but its text has not yet been made public.

Commission members asked to speak on condition of anonymity because they are hopeful that Dino can make concessions to the gunmen and are therefore avoiding attacking him. But they are apprehensive. The minister would have told them that the text of the decree would be presented on Wednesday (31), but Dino kept silent.

On the 24th, the text of the decree was presented to the president. The report found out at the meeting that the idea was to release the issuance of new licenses for sport shooters, hunters and collectors, but with a control system similar to that in force during Dilma Rousseff’s government, which is more restrictive than that adopted in the former government. -President Jair Bolsonaro.

Parliamentarians fear that the new text will bring obstacles that, in practice, will make it impossible to issue new licenses (as has been happening in practice today). If that happens, they intend to claim that the licensing of CACs (Hunters, Shooters and Collectors) is provided for by law and cannot be annulled by a decree.
