PORTE DE ARMA ILEGAL COMO OBSTÁCULO PARA A SEGURANÇA PÚBLICA

Abstract

The study outlined the complex relationship between illegal gun possession and its consequences in Brazil. Through an analysis of current legislation and utilizing bibliographic research as the methodological procedure, it identifies a series of stringent requirements for the legal acquisition of firearms, recognizing that such restrictions may encourage the pursuit of illegal means. The deductive method-based approach allowed for a logical and thorough analysis of the phenomena at hand. Considering the categories of exploratory, descriptive, and explanatory research, the focus was primarily on descriptive research, aiming to portray the characteristics of the problem and establish relationships between variables. Additionally, a qualitative approach was adopted to deepen the understanding of the issue under study, analyzing the phenomena and their complexities in detail. Faced with challenges encountered by the Security Forces, such as internal corruption and resource scarcity, the study concludes that the adoption of effective policies for gun control and crime prevention is crucial to ensure public safety and reduce the harm caused by illegal gun possession in the country.
