Bill: Civil Liberties and Foreign Relations Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Peoples Patriotic Union for Felinism
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: March 3727
Description[?]:
| If any group could present a risk to the public, the law enforcement has the right to disperse it, if needed. This can prevent crime and terrorism in our Peoples nation! No weapon should be concealed on ones person, no matter the reason. This can aid security and law enforcers in their aid to destroy and eliminate crime. Why should a foreign diplomat be exempt from our laws? If they want to ally or trade with us, their diplomats need to respect our laws, no matter what. Destroying or dishonour the flag, which we present to our troops, workers and people, should be illegal! No one should be allowed to do this, no matter what! Foreign marriages should only be recognised if they abide by our laws, if people want to get married but not want to respect our laws and customs, why should we respect theirs? Foreigners who come to our Peoples nation need to be made sure they are not a potential threat to our People. This is why an invasive search of foreigners and nationals is needed! Why should mentally ill be given a gun? We need to make sure our People can get homes and employment before we can allow foreigners in to fill them positions. Justice and our laws will benefit from letter and mail intervention, because we can analyse a potential threat or risk to our People! Children need to be raised in a state-owned facility so we can make sure they are cared for and taught correctly, we will not stop people from giving birth, but if a parent is not capable of caring for their child, why should they keep it? We can't just let everyone in, just because something bad happened to them. So only those foreigners who are harmed from war, terrorism or war crimes, will be permitted into our nation and be entitled to integration aid. We need to make sure weapons of mass destruction or ones which cause great damage are removed from our Peoples hands, RPGs and Nukes are to be banned from the general public. Assault rifles, snipers, rifles and certain sub-machine guns will also be heavily regulated to prevent rising crime rates and death among our People. |
