Small Arms Commission launches campaign against small arms proliferation
The National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons has rolled out a nationwide public education campaign dubbed “Silence the Gun, Save a Life”.
The campaign forms part of efforts to curb the proliferation of small arms and light weapons in Ghana.
