A Brazilian Supreme Court judge on Wednesday issued a four-day ban on carrying firearms in the capital as a precautionary measure ahead of the January 1 inauguration of President-elect Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva.
The firearms ban was to start on Wednesday at 6 p.m. local time and will run through the end of Sunday. It will not apply to active members of the armed forces, policemen and private security guards, Moraes wrote. Even though Bolsonaro’s administration has said it is cooperating with the transition of power, the far-right leader has stopped short of explicitly conceding his election loss on October 30.
