Bill: Prevention of State Violence Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Socialists of Endralon
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: May 2058
Description[?]:
| The police in Endralon are currently armed with lethal weapons which could be used either deliberately or accidentally against innocent people or in the future to enforce the rule of a dictatorial regime. We believe these weapons should therefore by replaced by non lethal weapons which while still giving the police the power to fight against criminals will minimise any present or future danger to the public. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The weapons used by police forces.
Old value:: Police officers carry standard firearms.
Current: Police officers may only carry standard firearms apart from specially trained firearms units.
Proposed: Police officers may only carry non-lethal weapons.

| Message | We wouldn't like to see the "gun control" act passed without this bill as when the public is disarmed so must the police or we will face the real danger of a public without weapons being unable to fight against state violence. |

| Message | I disagree with this solely because I disagree with disarming the proletariat for reasons explained and without that this bill is silly |
