Police launch two-week weapons surrender in England and Wales - BBC News
People in England and Wales have two weeks to hand in guns, other weapons and ammunition to police stations without being punished for possession.
The National Ballistics Intelligence Service (Nabis), which is co-ordinating the surrender, says many firearms are held in ignorance of their illegality.
Anyone handing in weapons will not automatically be charged, but will be if they are later connected to a crime.
Police say the surrender is aimed at the "full spectrum" of society.
Helen McMillan, National Police Chiefs' Council firearms lead, said: "You don't have to give your name or address, we just want more guns out of harm's way."
Reality Check: Is crime up or down?
BB-guns, air weapons, rifles, shotguns or pistols are among the weapons police say should be handed in by the 26 November cut-off.
Police think some people come across weapons when clearing the houses of relatives and may not know what to do with them.
