Bill: Gun Ownership License Act of 2486

Details

Submitted by[?]: Genuine Progress Alliance

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: December 2486

Description[?]:

WHEREAS, current Alorian laws allow individuals to own firearms given that they do not have a past record of dangerous mental illness or a violent criminality

WHEREAS, since only mental illness and previous criminal record are the only basis for not owning a gun, this means that almost anybody, including young children and adolescents, can own a gun

WHEREAS, the law unintentionally allows young children and adolescents to be exposed to violence in connection with a gun, which may cause serious effects on their mental and emotional well-being and development

WHEREAS, the law does not even guarantee that guns will not be used for illegal motives, since potential criminals need not have a past mental illness or criminal record in order to perform a crime

WHEREAS, it is recognized that guns can still be useful in order to defend oneself or others and thus a ban on gun ownership would be impractical

THEREFORE, guns should only be owned by adult individuals which, under the Alorian laws, is sixteen (16) years old and above, since it is assumed that individuals 16 and above are mature enough to handle the risks of owning a gun

THEREFORE, limiting the ownership of guns to adults will allow better mental and emotional health and development for children and adolescents

THEREFORE, the ownership of guns should undergo strict license conditions so that no one can easily get a gun and use it for illegal means, and so that in the event that a gun is used in legal or illegal means the owner can be interrogated properly

THUS, the following is proposed:
