Bill: Miscellaneous Military/Justice/Foreign Policy
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: February 3410
Description[?]:
| The people have the right to freely create, purchase and carry military-grade weapons without any restrictions. Therefore, the people do not need the government to maintain any military or police because the people are capable and responsible for their own self-defense. This responsibility is inherent in the newfound freedoms of 0% income tax and complete civil liberty brought forth by the anarchists, who do not care if this means that they may lose their jobs as governors because that is the entire point of anarchy: the complete absence of state compulsion and the complete embrace of individual liberty as the people discover that they do need the government to baby them from cradle to grave. |
