Britain’s National Ballistics Intelligence Service (NABIS) has urged the owners of hundreds of gas guns, blank-firing pistols, and unregistered shotguns to hand them over before they are stolen and used in violent crime.

NABIS is co-ordinating a National Firearms Surrender, running May 12–29, and is asking people to bring in weapons so they can be taken out of circulation and destroyed.
