This is indeed a fascist move, the key phrase here being "without criminal records."
It's completely obvious that members of Bolsonaro's political opposition will find themselves charged with something -- anything -- to negate their legal ability to possess firearms, just the same way Lula was charged with, what exactly?, to keep him from running for reelection. (Yes, I'm not so naive to think that anyone on this thread thinks that is such a bad thing).
Oh, and it's just as obvious that "without criminal records" means "not Black", just like in the US, even though they and the Browns in the northeast are the ones suffering the worst from the violent crime epidemic.
The sad thing, though, is that the one subgroup in that country truly in need of self-defense, the Amazonian Indians, will curiously not be informed of their newly granted "right" by anyone from government agencies tasked to contact them.
