Brazilians were allowed to own more and more-powerful guns\u2014up to six guns and up to .50 caliber, the same maximum caliber as the U.S. He raised the maximum annual ammunition purchase to 5,000 rounds a year from 50. He made it easier to carry concealed handguns in public.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBefore Mr. Bolsonaro, Brazilians had to pay $260 for a new gun license and $25 every three years to renew it. This put legal gun ownership out of reach of the poor. The initial license fee has fallen to around $18.50, and licenses are good for 10 years,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If relaxing gun laws was directly correlated to crime rates, specifically the homicide rate, Brazil should&#8217;ve witnessed a huge surge.  But, as Lott pointed out, it hasn&#8217;t.  Killings are down.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What gives?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, maybe the opposite of &#8220;more guns equals more crime&#8221; is true.  Maybe allowing good guys to bear arms has a chilling effect on criminals.  Maybe they&#8217;re less likely to offend if they think they&#8217;re going to encounter armed resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Could very well be the case.  But even if it isn&#8217;t.  The situation in Brazil shatters the myth that expanding gun rights to responsible citizens is a recipe for increased chaos and bloodshed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The result three years later after that initial adjustment and dozens more like it, is that the homicide rate has fallen 34 percent, from 27.8 per 100,000 people in 2019 to 18.5 per 100,000 in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":165631,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,216,240],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-165626","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Brazil Homicide Rate Plunges After Relaxing Gun Laws<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The result three years later after that initial adjustment and dozens more like it, is that the homicide rate has fallen 34 percent.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/brazil-homicide-rate-plunges-after-relaxing-gun-laws\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Brazil Homicide Rate Plunges After Relaxing Gun Laws\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The result three years later after that initial adjustment and dozens more like it, is that the homicide rate has fallen 34 percent, from 27.8 per 100,000 people in 2019 to 18.5 per 100,000 in 2022.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/brazil-homicide-rate-plunges-after-relaxing-gun-laws\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-06-28T20:42:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-08T07:36:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Brazin_GUnControl.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1460\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"838\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
