Bill: Weapon Restriction Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Dorvish Popular Front
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: May 2418
Description[?]:
| Private ownership of weapons is defended in the interests of self-defence and perhaps hobbies such as hunting or shooting. We therefore do not believe weapons should be carried, and believe that the only places such weapons may be permitted are in the home or in designated shooting/hunting clubs. Furthermore, weapons should not be concealed in order to prevent Dorvik turning into a nation of gun-wielding vigilantes. |
