Weapons amnesty is closely related to internal order and security. These are important attributes that any democratic, based on the rule of law and consolidated state must protect. The ability of the state to sustain an orderly society, where lawlessness is replaced by the compliance with the law, and to protect the lives, health, property, rights and freedoms of citizens. In real life, it is mainly security and protection against crime of all kinds. One of the means of maintaining internal order and security is undoubtedly a tool of weapon amnesties, when everyone who unlawfully holds a firearm weapon may by law in a limited period with impunity decommission the weapon and ammunition.
