Lula tells the police that they cannot have left – 07/21/2023 – Politics

President Lula (PT) said this Friday (21st) to an audience of police officers that they are a state career, cannot be party members and must work for everyone who holds the position of President of the Republic.

The statement was given during a ceremony for the signing of acts for public security at the Planalto Palace. The Salão Nobre gathered criminal police, civil, military and firefighters.

“We need to understand that no one who is a career in the state owes favors to the President of the Republic, to the governor. Because you must work for all the people who hold the position of president, governor, because you cannot have a party,” said Lula.

“If you want to have a party, vote on election day. But you cannot act in favor of one or the other, because you are a career of the state”, he added.

Among the measures presented this Friday is the new decree on weapons. The document has not yet been published in the Official Gazette of the Union.

But, as the Sheet anticipated, the text does not remove rifles already acquired from CACs (hunters, shooters and collectors) and other weapons that will have more restrictions, but prohibits, for example, level 1 and 2 from using rifles.

In the government of Jair Bolsonaro (PL), snipers are no longer divided into levels and anyone can now buy up to 60 guns – which would give the right to 180,000 ammunition annually.

The text should also provide for the Voluntary Repurchase Program, that is, people will not be forced to return the gun — and, yes, encouraged to do so.

Another change will be in relation to the 9 mm pistol, which should once again be restricted to use. During the Bolsonaro government, this model became allowed to be used, and the number of units in the hands of ordinary citizens and CACs exploded due to the then president’s arms policy.
