40 firearms and 300 rounds of ammunition surrendered during Samoa's two-month gun amnesty.

Samoa has completed a two-month gun amnesty, resulting in the surrender of approximately 40 firearms and nearly 300 rounds of illegal ammunition. This initiative aimed to enhance security ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. Officials attribute gun-related incidents to unregistered firearms, emphasizing that no firearms are manufactured locally. Previous amnesties in 2015-16 and 2020-21 yielded more significant results, with 317 and 198 firearms surrendered, respectively.
