The Chamber of Deputies' Security Committee is expected to vote on Gleisi's bill that would eliminate CACs (Collectors, Shooters, and Hunters) in Brazil.
The chairman of the committee, Alberto Fraga, is from the pro-gun lobby and wants to try to bury the project, preventing it from reaching the plenary session.
247 - The new chairman of the Security Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, Alberto Fraga (PL-DF), known for his positions aligned with Bolsonaro and a prominent member of the Parliamentary Front for Security, announced his intention to put to a vote the bill presented by the president of the PT party, Deputy Gleisi Hoffmann (PR), according to [source missing]. MetropolisThe project aims to eliminate CACs (collectors, shooters, and hunters) in Brazil.
Fraga, one of the most active leaders of the so-called "bullet caucus," expressed his firm opposition to the bill proposed by Gleisi. His goal is to schedule the proposal for a vote in the committee, aiming to block it before it even reaches the plenary, thus reducing its chances of approval. By scheduling the bill for the committee, Fraga aims to "provoke" the anti-gun agenda.
The project filed by Gleisi Hoffmann last Monday (11) proposes the cancellation of the registration of all CACs in Brazil, allowing the granting of possession and carrying only for Olympic shooting athletes. This would mean the revocation of the registrations of gun collectors, sport hunters and shooting clubs. In her justification, Gleisi argues that "there is no sense in maintaining shooting clubs, as well as the activity of sport hunting and gun collecting, sources of supply for crime". The initiative of the national president of the PT comes after the release of a report by the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU), which pointed out that the Brazilian Army granted authorizations to more than 5 convicted individuals.
