security, Patricia Bullrich, Minister left at the junction of the criticisms and returned to defend the new regulation on the use of weapons in the Federal forces. He considered that the country comes from “an old story, the dictatorship, which was taking the capacity for action the police until we arrived at a police of sit-down”.” “You have to have the security force is the ability to operate to defend society, if the regulation only allows you to defending itself and not defend others, then it is not police”, said. Bullrich explained that the national Government decided to change the regulation on the basis of a central principle: “only you can use the firearm to a situation of imminent danger, risk of life or serious situation of members of the” security forces or of third parties”.
“99% of people who die by a firearm in Argentina, dies at the hands of a criminal,” said the Minister.
“If uses of firearms regulations are as he gave it, clear and transparent, we will have an orderly society that has clear where is good and where is evil”, said.
The Government formalised the general regulation for the use of firearms by members of the federal security forces which, among other things, allows the police to shoot against people fleeing.
“For we have cops? what the police officers carry weapons? To defend the people”.
The second article of the new regulation estabece which will be made use of firearms when other non-violent in self-defence means are ineffective or of other persons, in the event of imminent danger of death or serious injury. Also will be allowed to prevent the Commission of a particularly serious crime, that this imminent danger to life or physical integrity of persons, in order to proceed with the arrest or prevent the escape of whom represent this imminent danger.
