Gun amnesty a failure

Dominica News "Dominica's Acting Deputy Chief of Police Cyril Carrette has disclosed that a three-month gun amnesty, which ended on January 10, 2009, only recovered two firearms.

'The firearms that were recovered were those that people did not pay license for, hence we have not really realized the amnesty,' Carette said in an interview with Dominica News Online.

In the latter half of 2008, the Roosevelt Skerrit administration decided to offer a three-month amnesty on all illegal guns and ammunitions. Though the amnesty has failed, Carrette is still urging persons with illegal firearms to bring them in without fear of prosecution."
