A Solomon Islands opposition MP, Yukio Sato, says a gun-free declaration will be resubmitted for signing by MPs when parliament meets again.
A declaration stating that MPs have no illegal guns in their possession was circulated but only six MPs signed it, including Mr Sato and one government minister, Augustine Taneko.
Mr Sato says most MPs are now in their constituencies but all will get a chance to prove their support for the declaration and the gun amnesty when parliament sits again.
"during the parliament session every member will be here so we can do all and another thing I must mention if the highest level of national leaders don't do this how can we expect a nation to do this we are the leaders we must take the initiave."

An amnesty to surrender illegally held weapons expires at the end of the month, with the prime minister saying the restoration of law and order is the nation's number one priority.
