Bolsonaro also announced he would move the Israeli embassy to Jerusalem and will not sign the insane UN migration pact that hands power over the the corrupt international body.

“By decree, we plan to guarantee the ownership of firearms by citizens without criminal records,” Bolsonaro, who takes office on Jan. 1, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
