Toy guns are used as criminal tools and are banned by Brazilian authorities

"Brazil Chinese Network" reported on January 17th that according to a new bill passed by the Supreme State Legislative Assembly, the production and sale of toy guns will be banned in the state of São Paulo. The new regulations have been announced in the government daily on Tuesday, with a fine of 20,000 black, and manufacturers and sellers have a 60-day adaptation period.

The purpose of the new regulations is to prevent illegal elements from using toy guns to commit crimes. The bill was passed in the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo State, but was vetoed by Governor Okmin last December. At that time, the governor believed that such a ban was unconstitutional, and in the 2003 federal ban on guns, there were already regulations prohibiting the production and sale of toy guns.

The proposed bill was state legislator Andre. He said that the state government's regulations differ from the federal government's regulations in determining penalties. He stated that the proposal was based on a survey conducted by the SOU DA PAZ Institute. According to the survey, in 2011, 33% of the guns seized for robbery were toy guns. In 2012, this proportion has risen to 41%. "As long as you search on the Internet, you can find a lot of websites that simulate toy guns. The style is the same as the real gun. This new law has a decisive role in reducing the proportion of such violent crimes," said a member.

The São Paulo State regulations stipulate that in addition to being fined, the violators will be suspended for 30 days or even banned. According to an assistant to the parliament, this regulation includes all toy guns, including colored toy guns that differ greatly from real guns. The assistant said that the restriction was due to records showing that the gangsters painted the colored guns and pretended to be real guns.

It is understood that Brazil is one of the countries with the highest shooting death rate in the world. The Brazilian tradition of guns and rising crime rates have made more and more Brazilians willing to arm themselves, and this trend has become a vicious circle. According to Brazilian official statistics, one in every 12 minutes in the country has been killed by shootings, and most of them have occurred in the two major cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Since May 2011, in order to curb violent crimes, the Brazilian government has launched a massive “pig balling campaign” across the country, paying for private guns and rewarding residents who automatically pay guns.

The authorities hope to inculcate in children the concept of “arms are not toys” from childhood, so as to curb violent crimes and to “exchange” children and exchange their toys with books. gun. Therefore, Xiao Bian believes that whether it is a Chinese shop selling toys in Brazil, or a domestic supplier who has long-term trade with toys in Brazil, it should be clear that the wind is now tight, do not take risks and follow local regulations to avoid small losses.
