9 years after Fascism raised to power and abolished democracy in Italy.
BTW you are not reading it well, what the Royal Decree No. 773 of 1931 established was that production of arms had to be licensed by the regime and that armed military parade were abolished UNLESS EXPLICITLY AUTHORIZED
Guess who gave the authorizations?
Exactly! the fascist prefects!
After all fascism went to power by marching to Rome in a military armed parade...

right, so again, no comparison with Brazil, where the Pandemic hasn't eroded the democracy. There the Senate rejected the decree from Bolsonaro:

It's Bolsonaro that eroded democracy in Brazil
Russia passed gun control legislation in 1929 coinciding with the beginning of Stalins rule.
Italy's current gun control laws date to the fascist period, notably the public safety act of 1931.
Cuba's gun laws are classified as highly restrictive.
How it looks in Brazil after the decree:
"Getting permission to buy a gun in Brazil still requires a lengthy process — including a mental health assessment and a criminal-background check — that can drag on for months. But shooting ranges and gun stores started to see an uptick in business, even before the new rules went into effect."
So you can have a gun at home, but no carry is permitted.
