Bill: Gun Restriction Act June 2458
Details
Submitted by[?]: Constitutional Monarchy 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: February 2462
Description[?]:
The free disribution of Guns must end.
If we leave the situation in its present condition then we shall be over run by armed communists and republicans.
Had these measures been in place during the March 2426 uprising, then we can be certain that the number of dead would have been lower. Although the Republican movement is not very active at this time, we can be sure that it shall return in another guise, and when it returns we can expect them to take full advantage of the slack laws we currently have regarding guns. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Ownership of guns by private individuals.
Old value:: Adult individuals are allowed to own and purchase guns freely.
Current: Adult individuals may own guns under strict license conditions.
Proposed: Adult individuals may own guns under strict license conditions.

From | Communist Party of Beluzia and Bailon | To | Debating the Gun Restriction Act June 2458 | | Message | Under most circumstances, the Communist Party would support this type of legislation, but the country is in the hands of Fascists (under the pig emperor), and we will not tolerate any attempt to limit the people's sovereignty even further. |

From | Constitutional Monarchy Party | To | Debating the Gun Restriction Act June 2458 | | Message | Oh for goodness sake... you either agree or disagree with the legislation! The party that proposes it is irrelivant.
You should also stop using the word pig, the PPP have hogzilla a their disposal. Also, its "Grand Emperor". As long as he is the monarch of this legislature, you should treat him with respect!! |

From | Beluzian Workers Party | To | Debating the Gun Restriction Act June 2458 | | Message | Of course there will be gun crime without guns - the only people who will respect the ban is those who abide by the law anyway. Statistically, these are also the people least likely to own them in the first place. |

From | Constitutional Monarchy Party | To | Debating the Gun Restriction Act June 2458 | | Message | Right so you tell me that if there were no guns, there would be gun crime? And you question my parties mentality? Surely if there is no gun, there can be no shot? And no shot means no gun crime? |

From | Beluzian Workers Party | To | Debating the Gun Restriction Act June 2458 | | Message | You can make firearms illegal, but you cannot legislate firearms out of existence. Just because murder is illegal, it doesn’t make it impossible. |

From | Beluzian Workers Party | To | Debating the Gun Restriction Act June 2458 | | Message | The Liberal Party has never taken up arms against the Emperor or the Government. As for the People's Youth, they will soon become the People's Dead if they molest His Majesty's Loyal Opposition. |

From | Constitutional Monarchy Party | To | Debating the Gun Restriction Act June 2458 | | Message | Thats a contradiction of terms... "His Majesty's Loyal Opposition" That would imply that you are loyal to him, but if you were truly loyal to him, you would not oppose him for no good reason. The Liberals have never openly attacked the government or the Grand Emperor, but the Beluzian Republican Party did. And since you switched sides shortly after that event, we naturally have our suspicions. |
