The registration of guns is one of the nine guide lines president Museveni gave to curb insecurity when he was addressing the nation on state of security in the country last year.
Museveni realized that there was rampant killing of people using guns and this was immediately after the death of former Buyende district Police Commander Muhammad Kirumira who was shot and died at Bulenga in Wakiso hence calling upon finger printing of all guns in the country.
