Rambi said unlawful guns in the hands of wrong people with criminal instincts must be removed as they were doing lots of damage and holding back the positive development progress of the country.
“As minister responsible, I’m for the idea of buying back guns from people who illegally possess them,” Rambi told Post Courier.
Buying back guns is one of the 161 recommendations made by the Guns Committee in their report, which the public is challenging to be tabled in Parliament.
Rambi, while considering these recommendations, said the government will not allow guns to be freely moved around in the communities killing, destroying and suppressing the development.
“We label people with guns for criminal intensions as ‘terrorists’ and terrorists have no place in the country,” he said.
Rambi said buying back guns is a good concept compared with the gun amnesty concept.
He said the government is preparing to buy back guns at all costs and also block the routes where guns are illegally smuggled into the country.
Rambi is putting together a paper on the “gun buy back” concept to gain the support of all the members of the Parliament.
