O direito constitucional à aquisição de arma de fogo e à proteção do indivíduo

Abstract

The escalation of criminality and violence, which is constantly increasing in Brazil, represents challenges that demand greater attention from the competent authorities. The aim of this course completion work is to examine the effectiveness of the statute on gun control as a public policy measure to mitigate violence and delinquency levels. In addition, the issue of the constitutional compliance of this statute will be addressed, since it imposes obstacles that make it difficult for citizens to acquire and carry weapons, affecting the fundamental right to defend life and property. Faced with the inability of the State to guarantee public safety and the protection of private property, individuals are victims of increasingly well-armed crimes. This research was based on a bibliographic survey that included legal and doctrinal sources. In addition, statistics related to crime rates will be demonstrated, which serve to corroborate whether the disarmament of the population is in fact effective or not in reducing the number of deaths by firearms in the Brazilian context.
