In his speech, the deputy and President's son Eduardo Bolsonaro even managed to slip in attacks on human rights, the press, and the "dictatorship of political correctness".

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL While he had admitted to not having had the time to take a closer look at the arms decree signed by his father, President Jair Bolsonaro, deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL-SP) spoke in defense of the right to possess weapons this Thursday, 9th, during a meeting sponsored by the Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Institute (IPCO).
An entourage of fans and voters closed in on Eduardo Bolsonaro to get pictures & selfies, record videos, and ask for autographs.
IPCO is an association born out of the Tradition, Family, and Property (TFP) movement and one which defines itself as an association created to preserve Christian Civilization.
The cultural revolution, the Bolsonaro government, and the right to self-defense was the theme of the forum held at Club Homs on Avenida Paulista, which attracted supporters of the monarchy, Bolsonaristas, and members of IPCO.
Throughout the auditorium, boys sporting golden bands across their chests assisted the nearly 600 guests in getting settled and invited them to purchase books, pins, and hats from the institute at an impromptu on-site store.

(66,467 posts)The backbone of this idea is that a man is only a man if he has a gun. Or lots of them. And to have those guns taken away amounts to true emasculation.
When it's the opposite that is true: if you need a gun to feel like a man, you're not a real man.

(160,633 posts)People who are obsessed with arming themselves feel more defenseless than others, or maybe they fear people they have really wronged will be looking for them to get revenge.
Yet they dare to imagine they seem tougher and that others are afraid of them.
Clearly, some of us see through the bluster and noise, the posturing all the time, and know we're looking at fools.
Thank you, so much for your post!
