Govt. extends gun amnesty

Oct 01, 2015 News

Those who still have illegal firearms and ammunition in their possession and want to surrender them without facing the full force of the law, have been given another two weeks to do so.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Public Security, apparently buoyed by the relative success of the just concluded one-month amnesty for firearms, announced that it has been extended it to October 14.

Within the past month, the Guyana Police Force has received over 100 illegal weapons, comprising shotguns, pistols and even an assault rifle.
