On November 6, 2019, Brazilian lawmakers made significant changes to President Jair Bolsonaro's gun proposal, which aimed to allow ordinary citizens to carry weapons in public.
The proposal, which was met with opposition from various quarters, has been watered down to exclude the key provision that would have granted citizens the right to carry guns in public.
The move is seen as a setback for Bolsonaro, who has been a strong advocate for gun rights.
