Quiénes pueden tener armas y cuándo pierden ese permiso
En el informe que Romano elaboró junto con Julián Alfie y Ana Lucía Mucci se expone que existen armas ilegales que no están debidamente registradas y que esa falta de registro no ayuda a prevenir la violencia de género con armas de fuego.

Los datos ayudan a entender la dimensión del problema. En un reporte oficial, la ANMaC, transparenta que según las últimas encuestas nacionales, se estima que en el 3,9% de los hogares hay armas de fuego, "representando una cantidad estimada de entre 3 y 4 millones de armas de fuego en estado registral irregular en circulación en la sociedad". Y detalla que registradas en el país hay 1.200.000 armas.

Who can own guns and when do they lose their permits?
The [INECIP] report that Romano wrote together with Julián Alfie and Ana Lucía Mucci shows that there are illegal weapons that are not properly registered and that this lack of registration does not help to prevent gender violence with firearms.

The data help to understand the dimension of the problem. In an official report, ANMaC states that according to the latest national surveys, it is estimated that 3.9% of households have firearms, "representing an estimated number of between 3 and 4 million firearms in irregular registration status in circulation in society". And it details that there are 1,200,000 registered firearms in the country.
