Far-left Brazilian President Luiz da Silva has signed a presidential decree restricting civilian access to firearms after the country witnessed increased gun ownership under former President Jair Bolsonaro.

The decision – nicknamed “responsible arms control” – will severely limit guns and ammunition stockpiles, the opening hours of shooting ranges, prohibit certain weapons, including nine-millimeter handguns, and require those purchasing firearms to demonstrate why they need them.
