Brazil’s relationship with guns goes back a long way. In the 1970s gun ownership was commonplace in the countryside, where most people lived, recalls Ivan Marques, a lawyer and the chairman of Control Arms, an. By the 1980s guns were ubiquitous and rules for buying them were lax. Even supermarkets sold them. But a rise in shootings triggered stricter laws.

Despite this setback, however, Mr Bolsonaro’s gun-loving base has been emboldened. The number of registered firearms in circulation has surged by 66% since 2017, to just over a million, or one for every 200 Brazilians. This is far short of the standard set by the United States, which has more guns than people. But still, between 2017 and 2019 the number held by Brazilian hunters, sporting shooters and collectors increased by a whopping 120% .

Mr Bolsonaro’s pro-gun stance is mostly political. Loosening gun laws is cheap and simple. Perhaps that is why, unlike the promises he made during his campaign to improve schools and health care, Mr Bolsonaro has been able to keep his word on guns. Also, talking about pistols touches on the “identity of his core supporters”, says Rodrigo Soares, an academic.

Be careful what you wish for!

Yes to shoot him million times

Just a cheap campaign promise to get the heart of peeps to vote for him which he succeeded and he knowing too well that the senate and tribunal will surely go against it which they did

You are fake news!! Brazil called in the past a plebiscite to decide wether Brazilians that decided to legally own a gun could have it, following strict rules of background checks and psychological approvals. Bolsonaro is following the will of 63% of voters. Making it viable!

That would be... an interesting experiment. Do we subsidize guns for grandma to get there?

este hombre es un problema hay que ponerle un punto fin

Just for you to feel safe!

Bring back Lula.....

I got mine !

Maybe instead give each person a few acres of rainforest, THEN a gun, and pay them to protect their land?

A lot of bullshit

There are companies that have suffered big blows from COVID; there are companies that have benefited from COVID; and there are companies for whom COVID has only accelerated in their markets that were already happening $OLL is firmly in the latter category.

Annual recurring revenue increased by 55% to A$1.225 million YoY A 160% growth (YoY) was seen in Platform SaaS customers Total 4.238 million people are enrolled with $OLL. There was a quarterly increase of 563k, up +15% QoQ Definitely a growing market!

Very big changes to how the world functions has filtered into the higher education sector with the University of NSW partnering with OpenLearning (ASX: $OLL) to create a new online pathway program that can transition successful students into UNSW degrees..

Economic recovery will be built on educated upskilled workforce We know from experience, economic downturns lead to upturns in demand for education. An undisclosed amount of government funding will be invested in Micro-credentials.

This and the other information I posted here shows that there's possibly some money to be made at the current ASX STOCK- (OLL) price, currently the SP is very cheap where's every other SAAS based company rose quite substantially, ASX-OLL will soon follow🚀

Sure, that stance seems to be working really well for the US, why not? 😏

lies

In what world is this a good idea?

Bolsonaro is keeping campaign promises.

There goes Brazil's tourist appeal...

The best Brazilian president ever. 👍🏻🇧🇷BolsonaroPresidente2022

You are spreading Fake News. This is very far from the true

Brazilians want Bolsonaro in jail.

Brain fart: Bolsonaro takes 5g of psilocybin mushrooms, stops this silly gun & deforestation talk. Psychedelics bicycleday2021

Nós brasileiros também 😉

The ones left after the genocide.

That should work out well for everyone!

The guns are not for everyone, people will have the rights to apply for licenses if they want...

Completely ridiculous

Why!

A decent education and functional healthcare might be a sounder choice.

Ailide

We are so different in India. Our PM just wants every Indian to have contracted Covid.

it is great! Power to people.

🤦‍♂️

A headline fake like commonly we can see here. He wants every Brazilian to have a RIGHT to have gun. If the buyer accomplish the rules. Those rules in USA for example would be called of civilian disarmament. Just an info about his gov. the homicide dropped down 15% in one year.

This is the latest strategy against Covid

So they can win the fight against COVID.

Brazil is one of the most violent countries on the planet. I cannot imagine what it will happen if they become like the US.

Melhor dizer, Bolsonaro quer que todos os brasileiros tenham o direito a se defender.

He sounds like 'The Prince of Piece'. As controversial as he is, you'd think he'd want the opposite.

A lot of sick people in this world

may symbol

Its True, only for our safety. There is a Big máfia with illegal guns in the country. We are happy with our president, don't trust in mainstream.

The law is for everyone... 🙄 the Brazilian people don’t care about the LIES that the international press is publishing...

Great way to boost gun shootings

I guess that’s a lot easier & also a lot dumber than every Brazilian having a job & healthcare

Works well for the US

More guns less crime and murder ,, it’s science

Go to the jail!

why not a tank, I bet they can buy them from america

To kill to each other

Genocida!

He’s a bozo. He’s been able to kill enough Brazilians on his own he need them to do the work for him.

Best president ever
