Bill: The Police Arsenal Upgrade Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Aldegar Freedom Party
Status[?]: passed
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: June 2400
Description[?]:
| Family First believes that the time has come for Aldgear to invest in more substantial equipment for our justice system. Now more than ever, it is intrinsic that our officers of justice be armed with weaponry that can compete with the weaponry of terrorists - Family First does not want our police forces to be caught off guard should a terrorist attack errupt without any warning. We must be prepared for anything. Allowing our policeman to carry military grade equipment is vitally important in this, our time of need. Family First has specified below the acceptable weaponry that police officers should be allowed to carry: - Any semi-automatic pistols, including glock 9mm's as the primary model issued for police officers. - Any semi-automatic sub machine guns, including mp5's, mp5k's, and uzi submachine guns, including the micro uzi. - Any automatic, fully automatic or pump-action shotgun. We suggest that the Remmington shotgun be issued as the primary shotgun model for police officers. - For special operations units, the M16 assault rifle and M249 light machine gun. Weapon distribution will be based on the weapon of choice for each individual officer, and they will have the choice of any of the above weapons at their disposal, except for the M16 and M249 machine guns, which will be available only to special operations armed units. It is vitally important to ensure the safety and protection and well-being of Aldegar's law-abiding citizens that the police force's currently abismal arsenal be upgraded immediately. |

| Message | There must be a distinction between the military and the civilian police. Otherwise, what's the point? |

| Message | PM - the point is that in such a dark hour for Aldegar, even our police forces must be equipped with weaponry sufficient enough to compete with the armoury of terrorists. If a terrorist attack is taking place, police can reach much quicker than the military, and can also proceed in ways which the military is not allowed to by law. |

| Message | If that were true, wouldn't it be sufficient to merely keep those weapons within a police station for those dark hours as opposed to carrying them every day? |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
