You could start off small by collecting the ammunition those guns use, just to prove you are a riel collector.

So this is supposed to keep the drunk police or soldier from shooting his wife, mistress, or each other?

I don’t see too many articles about gun violence amongst ordinary Khmer.

Wonder what prompted this action?

Probably poaching.

Those guys look proud of their ugly guns though. I suppose they get paid something for handing them in ?

There are a couple of home made air rifles in there. Most likely primed by a foot pump.
Can't imagine they will be saving many lives by confiscating these, it takes about 3 minutes to reload and prime between shots!

"When government takes away citizens' right to bear arms it becomes citizens' duty to take away government's right to govern."

“When a nation mistrusts its citizens with guns it is it sending a clear message. It no longer trusts its citizens because such a government has evil plans.”

I wonder if Pedro think it devalues their brand when they see some Stung Treng villagers wearing a t-shirt they're most likely trying to flog in Phnom Penh for $50 or whatever (I've never been in one of the shops, but from what I gather it's sort of a mid-priced store?).

The only ‘Pedro’ I own is a soft shell briefcase bag missus got for me to look ‘professional’. Brought it to the sex trafficking department, almost did NOT get the marriage papers. - rejected the first time.

My theory - they were looking for more tea money because I owned Pedro. That and dressed in business attire. Everyone else wore t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops.
