Brazil has a violent crime rate that was out of control, and they had extreme gun control....then, their President relaxed gun control laws allowing more normal people to own guns....and they had a decrease in murder.....

Who knew?

We did...

The fall in homicides has left many public security experts somewhat puzzled, as it has been accompanied by a sharp increase in the number of firearms held by Brazilians. Some studies have suggested that more guns circulating among the population lead to more homicides.

During his 2019-2022 term, then President Jair Bolsonaro worked to loosen regulations on gun ownership. The number of firearms registered with the Federal Police reached 1.5 million in 2022, up 47.5% from 2019.
