El Presidente decrees that citizens
have the right to carry guns for
self-defense.
In the wake of murders and mail bombings
in Ecuador's coastal areas and the need
to protect residents from cartel violence,
Sr. Lasso has repealed the provision of a
12-year-old Correa Era decree that made it
nearly impossible for citizens to bear arms.
El presidente -- citing an increase in crime
in Ecuador -- has authorized citizens to
carry and use firearms for self-defense.
While the gun ownership decree is applicable
throughout Ecuador, it is worth noting that
most of the increasing gang violence is
attributable to the port cities of
Guayaquil, Manta, Esmeraldas and Machala.
Presidente Lasso affirmed the rights of citizens
to own, carry and use in self-defense
both pepper spray and electric tasers.
