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: February 4292
Description[?]:
Members of Congress, Arms should not be exported to foreign countries because they can easily be funneled to terrorist organisations who can try to harm our country. We support this rather than only allowing sales to close allies because we do not trust the current government to only ally with nations without human rights violations. Rebecca Short-Bailey Defence Spokesperson of the Secularist, Socialist Party of Baltusia |

Message | If the SSPB finds the recipients of arms an issue, should we not create of list of states we are not comfortable to sell arms to instead of completely halting the export of arms? Private citizens have businesses in the arms trade, if we were to suddenly shut off all arms associated trade we would be damaging our own people as well as making an infringement upon their rights.
