FT 9-05: Fremont Assault Weapons Ban Act (Final Vote)

[AustralianSwingVoter]

What does section 4.2 mean? I assume it's a typo of some sort?

This is why I need to proofread at a time other than 2am.
Now I need to remember what I was going to write there.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

As stated elsewhere, I plan to vote no on this bill.  Since there has been no debate for six days and the original sponsor is no longer present, I call for a final vote.

[YE]

Hold off for now. Is someone going to fix 4.2?

[Goldwater]

Hold off for now. Is someone going to fix 4.2?

Eh, that doesn't matter as long as you guys just vote against this bill.

[YE]

Hold off for now. Is someone going to fix 4.2?

Eh, that doesn't matter as long as you guys just vote against this bill.

Which I’m not sure will happen....

Mr. First Minister, I believe I can rewrite Section 4 and present an amendment on the floor shortly.

I really do hope my sudden departure won't impact the passage of this legislation. I really hope Parliament will pass this bill, and I know YE will veto it, so the region at large can vote on this important piece of legislation. If not, I guess I might bring it back when I come back. Maybe.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

So are you all going to hold a vote soon?
Also, I do hope that this bill passes to referendum. If it fails to pass parliament solely because of my sudden resignation it shall be rather unfortunate.

[YE]

Amendment is adopted.

[YE]

This fell through the wayside.

[Sestak]

As it's been far longer than 36 hours since ASV left, I think this is tabled.

That’s not how this works. The standing orders on the wiki are out of date; I don’t play the search for a new sponsor game.

So is there a new sponsor?

There doesn’t need to be since ASV already advocated and we don’t do sponsor feedback.

[ON Progressive]

If there are no objections, we'll do a final vote in 24 hours.

[ON Progressive]

OK, time for a final vote.

Members, you have 72 hours.

[YE]

Nay

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Nay.

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

Nay.

[YE]

This fails 0-3.

Good riddance.

It is deeply unfortunate that through both my and Joey's resignations, we have gone from a chamber which was 4-1 in favour of this legislation to 3-2 against.
However, this issue is now over. I am saddened that I wasn't able to pass this before I had to leave, but so be it. Whenever I do come back, I may very well try again on this issue.

[Wikipedia delenda est]

As someone who tried time and time again to get an assault weapons ban passed at both the regional and federal level, all I can say is that I'm very disappointed with the outcome once again.

Actually, it's more like a 3-0 against chamber, but whatever.
