Together with other groups, such as the "Instituto Defesa" ("Defense Institute"),[5] he defends the repeal of the "Estatuto do Desarmamento" ("Disarmament Statute"), understanding that, by insisting on its maintenance, the government disrespects the decision taken by the majority of voters in 2005.

[8] Bill 3722 of 2012[9] authored by federal deputy Rogério Mendonça (PMDB-SC) intends to change the "Disarmament Statute [pt]" for the "Good Citizen", making the legislation adequate to the result of the 2005 Referendum.

[10] Its current president is an activist, a bachelor of law, a specialist in public security, a writer and professor Bene Barbosa.
