Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall says the sale, purchase, acquisition, and possession of taser guns by civilians without proper authority is prohibited under Guyana’s Firearms Act. He made the comments on his programme “Issues in the News,” addressing questions about reports of taser equipment being sold by commercial establishments.
Nandlall’s clarification is that tasers fall under a prohibited category of weapons in the Firearms Act, meaning civilian use and ownership are not permitted without the requisite authorization. Both outlets report that his warning frames unauthorized transactions as potentially criminal, depending on whether individuals and businesses have the legal permission to deal with or possess such equipment. The reporting focuses on the legal status of tasers and the potential consequences of selling or holding them without approval, rather than on any specific enforcement action.
