Brazilian police claim the United States is the largest supplier of guns that end up in the hands of Brazil’s armed criminals and drug dealers. Brazilian Federal Police released a report on guns in December 2017. The Reuters news agency published a story on the findings earlier this month. The report noted that Brazilian police have seized more than 10,000 weapons since 2014. It said most were seized in and around the city of Rio de Janeiro. About 1,500 of the guns came from the United States. Reuters noted that the guns often traveled through another country before arriving in Brazil. The news agency said that the U.S. weapons were mainly assault rifles and high-powered handguns. It noted that guns already in Brazil or arriving from other countries were often smaller handguns. “The US continues to be the largest indirect source of illegal handguns and assault rifles as a result of unrestricted sales in stores and fairs in American cities,” the report said.
