The independent deputy of Chile Vamos, Álvaro Carter, announced that he will promote a bill so that the police can use UZI submachine guns to combat organized crime, ensuring that they are at a disadvantage.
Carter said in a statement that together with other parliamentarians from Chile Vamos, they are promoting an anti-drug agenda, requesting that the bill that sanctions the commercialization and use of fireworks be given the utmost urgency, in addition to allowing the use of UZI submachine guns to the policemen.
“Fireworks are becoming the entertainment of the underworld in Chile, since it is enough to see how they were used during Christmas Eve, where in various towns in Chile, there was simply a true pyrotechnic festival,” said Carter.
The legislator explained that “it can be considered that the underworld is using this technique as a way of marking territory and almost as a demonstration of power in the populations. And all this is linked to the shootings, hit men, funerals of drug traffickers and a series of events that during this pandemic have been exponentially increased ”.
“We will present another bill so that once and for all our police officers are given real weapons. It cannot be that when they have to enter different towns in Chile to confront criminals and drug traffickers, they are at a complete disadvantage in terms of weapons, “he added.
“Often times, Carabineros and PDI personnel carry simple pistols versus weapons of war used by drug traffickers. Thus We will look for that at least they can use UZI submachine guns that it is an urban combat weapon so that they can defend themselves from attacks, ”said Congressman Carter.
