"Nonetheless, Bolsonaro’s reforms produced a 600 percent increase in gun ownership. Yet despite all the dire predictions, homicides in Brazil plummeted.
In 2018, the year before he became president, the murder rate stood at 27.8 per hundred thousand people—5.5 times higher than the U.S. rate. But it fell in each consecutive year. By 2021, the third year of Bolsonaro’s presidency, it had dropped to 18.5 per hundred thousand—a 34 percent drop.
