Bill: Firearm Background Checks
Details
Submitted by[?]: Party for Practical Progress
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: April 3961
Description[?]:
| Rather than enforcing license restrictions that someone who plans on committing a crime aren't going to follow anyway, we should instead have background checks on those purchasing firearms. This would increase the freedom of law-abiding citizens who carry guns, and would restrict those who are likely to use their guns for malicious purposes. |

Old value:: Adult individuals may own guns under strict license conditions.

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
