Many good ways to mobilize and recover weapons and support tools

Variety of ways

On the morning of July 15, Nghia Dan District Police coordinated with Nghia Dan Town People's Committee to organize a National Day for the Handover of Weapons, Explosives, Support Tools (VK, VLN, CCHT) and Firecrackers. The festival created a strong momentum throughout the political system and the entire population for the work of mobilizing, collecting, preventing, and fighting against crimes and violations of the law on VK, VLN, CCHT and Firecrackers.

It is worth mentioning that Nghia Dan Town Police have deployed the model of "Point of exchanging weapons, explosives, explosives and fireworks for fire extinguishers" to encourage people to hand over weapons, explosives, explosives and fireworks, as well as aiming for 100% of households to have fire extinguishers. In addition, they organized a commitment signing with 100% of households not to illegally produce, trade, transport or store weapons, explosives, explosives and fireworks. With that approach, the people of Nghia Dan Town voluntarily handed over more than 30 weapons of various types, including 4 pistols, 3 flintlock guns, 1 artillery shell, support tools and 30 bullets of various types...

According to Mr. NMT, a resident, he bought the gun for 4 million VND through social networks and assembled it himself to use for bird hunting. “After a period of keeping the gun at home, I was informed by the town police officers that storing guns is both dangerous and illegal, so I voluntarily handed it over. The town police's implementation of the model "Point of exchanging weapons, explosives, CCHT and fireworks for fire extinguishers" is very reasonable, it has really encouraged people, not to mention providing necessary means for fire prevention and fighting", said Mr. NMT.

In Chau Ly commune, a highland commune of Quy Hop district, with many ethnic groups living there, the legal awareness of the people is still limited, and living in a mountainous area with hunting habits, people often make many types of weapons to carry with them when going to the fields, causing potential risks of violating the law and disrupting security and order. In particular, currently through social networks, people, especially young people, can easily find and buy weapons, explosives, explosives and firecrackers.

Along with propaganda and mobilization, under the direction of the district police, Chau Ly commune police deployed the model of "Exchanging rice for weapons". On July 15, the first day of the nationwide festival to hand over weapons, explosives, explosives and firecrackers, Chau Ly commune police mobilized and recovered 25 homemade guns, 1 military gun (AK gun), 6 electric shockers and 14 knives and swords of various types.

Mr. Cao Duy Thai, Chairman of Chau Ly Commune People's Committee, said that the illegal storage and use of weapons, explosives, explosives and firecrackers always poses many potential risks. This not only endangers people's lives and health but also seriously affects social order and safety. Therefore, the propaganda and handover of weapons, explosives, explosives and firecrackers, especially the implementation of the "Exchange rice for weapons" model, has received support from the people, contributing to building a safe and civilized residential area, ensuring security, order and social safety.

To continue to effectively implement propaganda, mobilization, recovery, and combat against crimes and violations of laws on weapons, explosives, explosives, and fireworks in the coming time, Colonel Tran Ngoc Tuan, Deputy Director of the Provincial Police Department, said: Particularly for the police force at all levels, it is necessary to proactively advise local Party committees and authorities in implementing the Plan of the Provincial Police Director on launching a peak period of propaganda, mobilization, and combat against crimes and violations of laws on weapons, explosives, explosives, and fireworks in 2024 in an effective and practical manner.
