With the gun amnesty in effect since November 5, National Security Minister Dr Horace Chang says no illegal weapon has been submitted. Speaking with CVM LIVE Monday he urged persons with illegal weapons to hand them over.

It took effect on November 5 and is slated to end at midnight on Saturday, November 19. Watch the full report:
