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

[AustralianSwingVoter]

I motion for section 3-1's wording be amended to 'manufacture and sale'.

Hold on.
Tomorrow that goes as I introduce the gun buyback and penalties.
I'm just waiting for the current amendment to be adopted without objections.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

My amendment to add Buyback and Penalties will hopefully be coming today.

My amendment to add Buyback and Penalties will hopefully be coming today.

Maybe not, though it is coming.
Also, can I just reaffirm that we cannot hold a final vote yes, as the bill still needs to be amended. And I will amend this bill soon, when I get some time off from all the assessments.

This is coming, soon. Eventually.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Change of plans due to a rescheduling of an exam.
The amendment on buybacks and penalties is probably coming on Saturday (Friday your time). Sorry all about the continued delay, but school unfortunately comes first. If I'm lucky I might get it in earlier, but that's unlikely.
Also, to the Speaker, I must insist that a vote not be held until this amendment is adopted.

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.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

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.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

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.
