The National Firearm Amnesty runs until the end of the month and people with unregistered firearms or prohibited weapons are encouraged to surrender them to licensed firearm dealers, mobile stations, and police stations.
Under the amnesty:
A person (regardless of whether they hold a firearms licence/permit) will be able to surrender a firearm, firearm related article or prohibited weapon to a dealer or to a police station.
A person who holds a firearms licence or permit will be able to apply to have the firearm registered. Similarly, a person who does not hold a firearms licence/permit may apply for a firearms licence/permit which would allow them to register the firearm.
A person will be permitted to supply a firearm or firearm related article to a participating dealer.
The Amnesty ends on September 30.
