Bill: Weapons Act
Details
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: August 2621
Description[?]:
| We believe the private citizen should be allowed to own any type of weapon, and seeing as these are weapons that are able to be carried, we assume this does not include vehicles such as tanks or other large-scale military equipment, which we believe should be designated to deserted areas. |

| Message | When we proposed this a few years back, we were not fortunate enough to have our allies in the right of bearing arms in the TCP. We are glad that a sensible party on this matter is back in the Lexate. |
| Date | 14:02:49, August 14, 2008 CET | From | Dranland First Party (CC) | To | Debating the Weapons Act |
| Message | We have decided to support this, though we have rejected it in the past. This is due to a general shift in the party regarding the fundamental right to bear arms. |
