Bill: All weapons must be openly carried.
Details
Submitted by[?]: Outer Church
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: April 2438
Description[?]:
| As it is now, our nation allows the general populace to carry their weapons in concealment. This is a recipe for disaster. What do these people have to hide that they keep their weapons from our eyes? We propose that all weapons need to be carried openly, without concealment, so we may keep an eye on citizens that may prove troublesome in the future. To allow our citizens the right to conceal their weapons is like allowing your children to play with knives; they will only hurt themselves or, worse, us. |
