Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| This bill serves to make it illegal for individuals to own a firearm. We no longer live in the time of Cowboys and Indians. We don't need guns anymore.

Police and other authorized professionals will still be allowed to carry guns. |

| Message | Sorry, but thugs are always going to have guns. It's called a black market and only creates more crime and violence. If you take away gun rights completely, you might as well declare this nation a police state. |

| Message | Outlawing guns will depress our native gun industry and be impossible to enforce. I support the current regulation. Opposed. |
| Date | 06:02:11, August 16, 2007 CET | From | Tukarali Communist Party | To | Debating the Gun ban |
| Message | We believe that guns should be illegal for nearly everyone, but that militias be exempted from this. If citizens cannot form militia groups with weapons, the state will have a monopoly on violence, and there could never be an uprising to destroy an unpopular government. |
