ABSTRACT
Security in Ecuador has presented an imminent risk in society due to the indiscriminate use of firearms
in the commission of crimes such as deaths through the modus operandi of contract killings, violating
various rights of people such as peaceful coexistence, tranquility, stability, but above all life. Since
2014, Ecuador has been governed by regulations where it typifies and sanctions the illegal possession
and carrying of a firearm, thus being a legal instrument that sanctions people who commit this antisocial
action, however, current technology has developed Imminent advances on objects of the same shape
and dimension as firearms, called blank, pneumatic, traumatic, 3D printed or similar weapons, therefore,
it provides antisocial people with the generation of more crimes committed with replica or identical
weapons , increasing a large percentage of crime in recent months. On the other hand, also due to the
scarce national doctrine on the technical definition of Firearms, legal professionals have generated
different interpretations when administering justice, which in several cases has shown impunity for a
criminal act. Therefore, this research will analyze the existing legal problems in Ecuador, from
comparative law, incorporating new definitions on firearms and possible changes in current regulations,
which contribute to the improvement of the administration of justice, to generate trust. society with the
improvement of citizen security.
