São PauloPolice detained state deputy Marcelo Aguiar after a party shooting.
In 2017 he filed a bill to repeal Brazil’s Disarmament Statute.
His bill dropped the statute’s clean-record certificates, barring only people convicted of intentional violent or heinous crimes.
Congress archived the bill in 2019 when his term ended, so it never became law.
Aguiar lost his reelection bid this year with 37,585 votes and is the Assembly’s 12th alternate.
