A Brazilian supreme court judge said Friday that President Jair Bolsonaro and his Justice Ministry had five days to respond to opposition assertions that a recently passed gun decree was unconstitutional.
A day after Bolsonaro signed his decree, surrounded by supporting lawmakers who made finger-gun gestures with their hands, the Sustainability Network party filed a petition with the Supreme Federal Tribunal. Both the Senate and lower house agreed. The decree is"invading the prerogatives of parliamentary members," House Speaker Rodrigo Maia sai d Wednesday, asking for the reversal of specific points.
Bolsonaro, a former army captain and congressman for 27 years, has long opposed the 2003 Disarmament Statute, which imposed a minimum age for possession of 25 and included mandatory background checks and requirements to renew licenses every five years.Among the decree's major changes, is the increase in the quantity of ammunitions available to gun owners.
The impact of the decree in rural Brazil, Latin America's largest nation, could be major, analysts say.
Not a good day for libtards who have an infantile need to disarm law abiding people. Maybe the happenings in Venezuela had something to do with with this.
