Voting deadline: October 3551

Description[?]:

Dear The Distinguished Members of the Rutanian Parliament:

First and foremost, please *note* that the Capitalist Working Families Party received the *largest* gain of seats than *any* other party in this body at an unbelievable *56* seats, or *9.22%*. Therefore, this means that our Party's message of gun rights and ownership is resonating with the People of Rutania:

cf. http://classic.particracy.net/viewnews.php?after=18600&before=18612&nation=6

Therefore, this bill seeks to *reconcile* the diverse view of the Parliament by implementing *common-sense* Gun-Control laws:

(1) First and foremost, in order for a Rutanian citizen to even be *allowed* to exercise *her*/his *natural* right to own a legal firearm to protect *her*self/hisself from a *sexual pervert* (rapist), a robber/thief who breaks into a person's cherished HOME while they are *sleeping*, or a potentially (*conservative*) government that is trying to impose a *Hosian* (OOC: Rutania's equivalent to the the *radical* religious right in America) dictatorship on the *atheistic* population of Rutania, she/he must be properly *trained* on *how* to use a gun/firearm.

(2) Second, *all* guns manufactured in our beloved Commonwealth *must* be equipped with *mandatory* *Trigger-Locks* (to prevent *children* from gaining access to their parents' guns) and *Laser-aims* (to help victims of crime *humanely* "maim" a criminal in the "leg" instead of "shooting-to-kill."

(3) (a) Most importantly, *nobody* can even *qualify* for a "Training Permit" for a firearm if they have a record of *dangerous*---[read: violent or classified as a "danger to *others*]---mental illness or *violent* criminality.

(b) For purposes of this legislation, "Mental Illness" is specifically defined as a marked *physical abnormality* of the brain which can be visibly seen via a CAT Scan or MRI.

(4) In general response to the criticism that if *everyone* owns a gun it will "lead to war and/or riots," we must respectfully cite the *statistic* that *prove* that in nations that have enacted more *liberal* gun laws, crime rates are actually substantially *lower*. This is can even be confirmed by simple *logic*: if you are *robber* and you *know* that *everyone* in the town (or the local bank) has a *concealed firearm* [as a result of recent legislation passed], will you take a *risk* of "robbing" that town/bank and eventually get *shot*??? However, if the Government *outlawed* guns for *Law-abiding* Rutanian Citizens, would that stop you as a *criminal* (who is prone to breaking laws *anyway*) from simply buying an *illegal* gun from the "Black Market" (Organized Crime/"The Mafia") and just commence to *rob* the local people in your town??? Please answer *honestly*.

(5) In conclusion, according to a recent poll---[which measures the *Will* of the *People* of Rutania]---conducted by the CWFP, the *overwhelming majority* of the people (***60.5%***) actually support the *Civil Liberty/Right* (freedom) [to own a gun/firearm for her/his *self*-defense] so we would actually *caution* all of parties before they cast their *final* vote on this common-sense bill.

Cordially,

OOC: This is *not* "editorializing" in "out of character," but For the pic(s) that mention "Boston," "New Orleans," "2nd Amendment," just *substitute* the words "Ardina," "Kragsov," and "*Natural* Law." Unfortunately, there are no actual *photographic* pics that mention Terran cities :( .
