Bill: Gun Ownership Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical New Party
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: July 2168
Description[?]:
Why are we bothering to give background checks for people if only an extremely small percentage of people *actually* have a mental illness or violent criminality? And how do we even know that those people who *do* have said mental illness or violent criminality will actually do something against the law? We are talking extremely small percentages here. So why bother the other 99% of the population? |
