| Message | I'm confused does this allow people with mental illness to purchase guns? What are these strict license requirements? |

| Message | No, it doesn't. People with these conditions will not be allowed to have guns, same as now, but the idea of this bill is to increase regulation and establish a license, that will allow to keep a register of all the weapons holded by individuals. Also the kind of weapons that could be sold to public will be regulated. Apparently not, because it allows to all individuals (unless they have criminal history or have severe mental illnesses ) to buy firearms without further control. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
