A former Papua New Guinea military commander says a proposed gun buyback scheme would be counter-productive.
PNG's Police Commissioner David Manning says he wants to implement the scheme to ease the proliferation of illegal firearms in the country.
But Major General Jerry Singirok, who worked on a 2005 UN sanctioned Gun Control Report that's yet to be tabled in Parliament, says the proposal is not the solution.
