Indeed, one leader went to the other extreme and encouraged offenders not to turn in the illegal held firearms and ammunition. The Prime Minister reassures those who would wish to hand in their illegal guns that they will not be prosecuted in any way. This is the second amnesty which is being granted in less than two years and government does not intend to either grant another amnesty or intend to turn a blind eye should persons continue to hold unlicensed firearms and ammunition after the expiration of this amnesty period. Putting off to tomorrow what can just as well be done today may be a universal human failing. Not in government, not in business, not in service of any kind.
Procrastination weakens momentum.
It misses deadlines. It loses opportunity. Procrastination steals life. Speak truth, there is a little bit of procrastinator in most normal people. Given the choice between starting off on a difficult assignment and a simple one, the average person is tempted to 'get rid' of the simple one first.
