Argentina Expands Gun Rights, Lifting Restrictions on Semi-Automatic Weapons
President of Argentina Javier Milei signed a decree Wednesday broadening gun rights in the country by allowing Argentine civilians to purchase and possess semiautomatic weapons for the first time in 30 years.
The decree – signed by Milei, Cabinet Chief Guillermo Francos, and Security Minister Patricia Bullrich – rescinds restrictions imposed in a 1995 decree signed by late President Carlos Menem that prohibited civilians from acquiring and possessing “semiautomatic weapons fed with removable magazines, similar to rifles, carbines or assault submachine guns derived from military weapons of a caliber larger than .22 LR” outside of very specific exemptions.

Of course what decrees give later decrees can take away. One would hope that this is in answer to a grassroots groundswell of Argentinians demanding the natural right of self-defense. One would hope even more that the traditional Latin American reliance on standing armies that become a political force ready to carry out coup d'états and impose juntas may be lessened.
