Brazilian Supreme Court judge temporarily suspends several provisions allowing people to buy guns, citing a 'risk of political violence' during Brazil's volatile electoral campaign
Judge Fachin underlined that his decision came"in light of recent and unfortunate episodes of political violence."
"The start of the election campaign exacerbates the risk of political violence," which "makes the need to restrict access to weapons and ammunition extremely and exceptionally urgent," Justice Edson Fachin wrote on Monday. According to the court, Fachin's decision establishes that only "people who concretely demonstrate an effective need" can have weapons, one of the rules that Bolsonaro, an enthusiastic backer of gun ownership, had relaxed by decree.
Lula lead over Bolsonaro ahead of the October election rose to 13 percentage points and widened from 13 to 16 points in an expected second-round run-off, according to a poll published on Monday.
