This research addresses recent changes to the Disarmament Statute in Brazil and their implications for public safety. The Disarmament Statute, established by Law No. 10.826/2003, was created to reduce the circulation of firearms in the country and reduce violence rates. However, in recent decades, significant changes in legislation have made access to weapons more flexible, sparking debates about the possible impacts of these changes on the security and crime scenario. The relevance of the research lies in the fact that gun control is a central issue for public safety, being widely discussed in various political and social contexts. Thus, the research is justified by the need to understand the possible effects of changes to the Disarmament Statute, considering the increased flexibility of access to weapons. The main objective of this research was to analyze these recent changes to the Disarmament Statute and evaluate their effects on the regulation of access to weapons and on violence and crime rates in Brazil. To achieve this objective, the methodology adopted was based on a bibliographic review and analysis of laws related to the topic. The results of this research showed that recent changes to the Disarmament Statute have the potential to significantly impact public safety in Brazil. The analysis of the legislative changes revealed that, with the relaxation of access to and possession of weapons, there is an increased risk of weapons circulating in the hands of the civilian population, which can aggravate situations of violence and crime.
