Bill: Arms sales bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist Workers Union
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2368
Description[?]:
| Ikradon has made a number of moves to become a beacon to other nations to show how peaceful we can be and I feel we should go the whole hog and ban all arms sales. If we sell no arms then no Ikradonian arms can be used to kill someone that we have nothing against. |

| Message | We are not in favor of arms sales that are indiscriminate, but we see no sense in a flat-out ban. Weapons are only tools and can be used to protect as well as to destroy. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
