Dak Lak, Vietnam Exchange Program Sees Surrender of 300+ Homemade Guns

According to the police statement on Friday, the exchange program took place in the scenic Cham Village in Ea Sol Commune, known for its picturesque mountainous landscapes.

Senior Lieutenant-Colonel Nguyen Cong Hoa, the head of the police division in Ea H’leo District, observed that Ea Sol Commune is inhabited by various ethnic minority groups who continue to engage in traditional wild animal hunting practices.

In this commune, numerous families have independently crafted hunting weapons to support their means of living. They view these weapons as essential tools for their livelihoods.

“According to Senior Lieutenant-Colonel Hoa, maintaining weapons within residential premises can pose a significant risk to the safety of both weapon owners and the general public, ultimately compromising the overall security of the community.”

In order to prioritize the safety of residents and uphold security in the province, the police department has initiated an exchange program. This program aims to incentivize locals to trade their homemade weapons for rice.

As the program commenced, residents in the district immediately expressed their eagerness to participate. Consequently, the police promptly gathered a collection of over 300 handcrafted guns, as accentuated by Hoa.

The law enforcement agency in Ea H’leo District urges residents to surrender any hazardous tools or explosives and assures them of assistance from the authorities.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.
