PARCIAL REGULATION OF THE DECRETO LEY 20.429/73 ON ARMS AND EXPLOSIVES. National Decree 395/75

Bs.As, 20/2/1975

See Background

VISTO Decree-Law No. 20.429/73 (National Arms and Explosives Act), its Regulation adopted by Decree No. 4.693 of 21 May 1973, as proposed by the Minister of Defence and

CONSIDERING:

That the above-mentioned regulatory text is the first to be issued in order to establish procedures for the implementation of the National Arms and Explosives Act, which for more than twenty years (Act No. 13,945) did not have regulation.

That more than one year of its sanction the application of the above-mentioned regulation has provided valuable experience, which properly assessed reveals the desirability of making some adjustments, both in terms of methodology and in matters of substance;

That in such a way and with regard to the ordering of the regulatory body, it has been considered appropriate to move to Chapter I "General Provisions", sections that were located in Chapters II and III, when the topics dealt with in them were truly of a common character;

That the relocated sections are those related to the "Manufacture and Export of Arms and Their Ammunition", "Importation", "Registration of Importers", "Puertos y Aduanas Autorizadas", "Depósito", "Registro de Comerciantes de Armas", etc ;

That there has also been a reordering of the Sections that make up the different Chapters of the Rules, thus seeking to achieve greater coherence that facilitates their management and understanding;

As far as substantive changes are concerned, they are numerous, and in general the intention has been to unify the procedures to be used for the execution of the vast variety of acts contemplated;

That it has been considered appropriate to introduce significant modifications in the classification of the material, clearly establishing which are weapons of war and which are of civil use, and in relation to the former to determine with absolute precision what are those of exclusive use of the armed institutions and which under no circumstances can work with those who are not an active member of them and are performing acts of service;

It is highly desirable that the Ministry of Defence be determined by resolution, which weapons of war are exempted from those classified as "exclusive use of the armed institutions". Thus, a flexible solution is provided to the problem which would mean giving rigidity to an essentially movable classification as is the one that refers to this material;

That, within the classification of weapons of war, those classified as "conditional civilian use" are more sharply determined, the possession of which can be granted to legitimate civilians, stating that the National Register of Arms must keep an updated listing of all the material in the category expressed;

With regard to weapons classified as "civil use", its conceptualization has been improved by introducing some adjustments to Article 5 of the Rules. Article 7 has been replaced by a new text, which, in its most important part, excepts various elements of the Rules;

With regard to collectors of firearms, article 8 filled a vacuum, establishing a regime of collection of weapons and ammunition, supplemented by articles 53, paragraph 12, 132 and 133 of the Rules;

That the regime of the circulation of firearms by postal means has been modified, maintaining the current criterion of admitting only that weapons of civilian use may be referred by such means, but with a ban on their use for the remission of ammunition and aggressive chemicals. It is also expected that the shipment will be formalized in accordance with the declared value regime;

That changes have been made to the general conditions required for legitimate users of war weapons, specifically with regard to the medical certificate required by the Regulations replaced by the present. The experience collected advises to replace such a requirement with the authority granted to the intervening authority to require the medical certificate that credits psychic and physical capacity for the handling of firearms, only when there are reasons for this;

It is considered essential, in providing for the special conditions governing the authorization of possession of weapons of war for personal security reasons, to empower the Ministry of Defence to establish the special regime to be applied when applications come from national, provincial, communal or foreign authorities residing in the country. In the formulation of such a regime, the Ministry of Defence may fully or partially dispense compliance with general and special conditions, replacing them or not by others;

That in terms of procurement procedures, authorization of tenure, sale between merchants, transfers between individuals, auction, garment, etc. has been sought through the modifications introduced, unifying procedures obtaining in such a way greater agility in their realization;

That the regulation of transfer procedures and their corresponding control by the local control authorities has been improved, especially in cases where the acquirer is placed in jurisdiction other than that of the seller;

Finally, in Chapter VIII of "Transient Provisions", a call is made for individuals and legal entities and institutions, so that, within the prescribed time frames, they may proceed to declare to the police authority of their homes, the firearms they possess in their possession;

Notwithstanding the agreement of Decree No. 4.693 of 21 May 1973 (modified by Decrees No. 331 of 3 August and 557 of 14 August, both of 1973) such benefit, the exiguity of the established deadline was obice so that the call could produce the expected results since a significant mass of the population was unable to comply with its obligation, being marginalized from the law;

That in order to give definitive solution to the stated problem, it is considered essential to call for a new call for firearms holders, with the view that the same must be fulfilled in two periods of NOVENTA (90) days each, the first for natural persons and the second, which will begin to take place TREINTA (30) days after the first, for institutions and legal persons;

That therefore, even those who had done so in the previous call, pursuant to the transitional regime provided for in Articles 146 to 152 of the Rules, should be submitted to declare their weapons;

That finally, and in order to have the time necessary to achieve maximum dissemination, to ensure the full knowledge of the present regulatory text by the individuals and institutions concerned, it is expected that its entry into force will occur to the CUARENTA and CINCO (45) days of the date of its publication;
