All new firearms have to undergo ballistic tests before being licensed, according to Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee.
He said that the system was implemented in 2005 and is also applied to weapons, whose licences are being renewed including by the city constabulary and the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit.
Responding orally to a question posed by GAP-ROAR parliamentarian, Everall Franklin at yesterday’s session of the National Assembly, Rohee said that this also applies to weapons used by the Guyana Police Force.
However, military wea-pons, which do not require licences, are not tested by the force.
