Politicians don't ban guns because they want to see you live,
they could give a fuck about you other than to keep you around
as their stupid slaves, they ban guns to keep you from rising
up and killing them to win back Freedom from their tyranny...
Biden and Brazil's Lula explain...

Brazilian Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes issued a temporary
firearms ban in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, on Wednesday ahead of
the Jan. 1 inauguration of President-elect Luiz Inacio “Lula” da
Silva.

The decision was made as a precautionary measure, according to the
judge, and will last until Jan. 2, the day after the inauguration.

Those who violate the ban risk being arrested. Members of law
enforcement and security forces are exempt from the ban, as are those
employed by private security companies.

Specifically, the temporary ban suspends licenses that allow hunters,
marksmen, and collectors to carry guns and ammunition in the region.

In his ruling, de Moraes said the ban was needed to ensure public
safety after a rise in the number of “terrorist groups financed by
shameless magnates” committing crimes in recent weeks, CNN reported.

Incoming Justice Minister Flavio Dino said that da Silva’s team had
requested the gun restrictions be put in place. Dino also praised the
move for bolstering security at the inauguration.

Tensions have been running high in Brazil since da Silva’s victory
against conservative incumbent Jair Bolsonaro was certified on Dec.
12. Thousands of Bolsonaro supporters across the country have been
protesting the results of the election over claims of fraud and
calling for the military to intervene.

Lawyers for Bolsonaro later challenged the outcome of the election and
requested that the electoral authority invalidate the votes cast on
some of the country’s electronic voting equipment.

That challenge was rejected by de Moraes. Bolsonaro has not yet
conceded the results of the election.

Registered Gun Owners Rise in Brazil

The number of registered gun owners in Brazil jumped six-fold to about
700,000 under Bolsonaro’s efforts to relax gun laws, beginning in
2019.

Shortly before the ruling to ban guns in the capital, police arrested
a 54-year-old gas station manager over his alleged planting and
possession of explosive devices at Brasilia International Airport.

The suspect allegedly told police that he planned “to provoke a
military intervention and the decree of a state of siege to prevent
the installation of communism in Brazil.”

Da Silva and his Workers Party led Brazil for two terms from 2003 to
2010, during which he implemented a string of social justice policies,
including anti-hunger and income-transfer programs in which the
government subsidized electricity and food prices and transferred cash
to the poor.

He also helped establish relations with other BRICS countries: Russia,
India, China, and South Africa.

However, he was banned from returning to power in 2018 after he was
convicted on charges of money laundering and corruption at the
state-owned oil and petrol company, Petrobrás. He was subsequently
sentenced to 12 years in prison following an investigation into the
scheme.

Throughout his time in prison, da Silva maintained his innocence and
called the case against him politically motivated. His conviction was
later overturned by the Supreme Court when seven of 11 justices agreed
that he should be tried in the state in which he lives as opposed to
the state in which he was accused.

A new trial has not yet been scheduled in court regarding the charges.
