Weapons Legislation, laid down in the Weapons Act of 1996, aimed at 
preventing the misuse of weapons; it covers firearms, swords, daggers, 
knives, etc. and ammunition, prohibits certain types of weapons (e.g. 
weapons that can be dismantled, knuckleduster, etc.) and limits and 
licenses the possession, import, sale, purchase and carrying of
