Brazil's president has made it easier for people to get their hands on foreign guns and carry more ammunition. Supporters say it will help people defend themselves in a country plagued by endemic violence.

Brazil's far-right President Jair Bolsonaro signed a decree Tuesday that loosens restrictions on gun imports and allows people to carry more ammunition.

"Public security starts inside your home," he said as lawmakers who observed him sign the order cheered and made gun gestures with their hands.

Previously, people were barred from importing guns if a domestic manufacturer produced a similar weapon.
