This amnesty is rubbish, just another attempt to disarming law abiding citizens.

What a waste of tax money, once again. If you are the holder of a current license, there is absolutely NO reason to give in your firearm, as these licenses are still being honored pending the outcome of case brought forward by JASA and SA Hunt. Info on their web site, http://www.jasa.za.net/. Our own judges have commented that the Firearms Control Act is unconstitutional!
