“I’m almost 70 years old. When I was a kid, I played with this: gun, arrow, slingshot. This is how my generation was created, we grew up strong, healthy and hard workers,” the Brazilian president said, while at the same time thanking the boy’s parents.
Under Bolsanaro’s decree, the sale and transportation of weapons and ammunition increased significantly. The Brazilian Yearbook of Public Safety says civilian arms use has doubled in three years. The total number of weapons registered by the country’s police in 2017 was 637,000, and by 2020 it had reached 1,200,000.
