And now, for some comic relief.

As introduced by, ahem, Sen. Naso:

The Firearm Cooling Off Act

Clause 1-
Any person who purchases a firearm must have an 18-day ''cooling off'' period before they can own the firearm.

Clause 2-
This law shall be forced in all states in Atlasia.

Clause 3-
Any person who is selling firearms without enabling the ''cooling off' period should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law (SEE CLAUSE 4).


I hereby open debate on this bill.

Just so I know, does anyone know what the current "cooling off period" is?  I recall that we already had one, but I forget how long it is.

Federal law mandates at least 5 days under the Brady Bill.  States may have stricter laws, and there amy have been a subsequent extension of the cooling off period I'm not familiar with.

Thanks, John.

Well, I see no reason why we need to make it longer than that.

Fifteen minutes before voting begins.  Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Voting is now open.

All senators in favor, vote "aye" (hint: don't); all senators against (that means you), vote "nay".

Nay.

To pay for all the time we have wasted, I think we should cut voting taxes by 50%, join the UN Voting Council, and cut the Preferential Voting Act to save us money.

I propose we simply cut Naso's pay by 200% (he now has to pay us what he's currently being paid in order to keep his job).

The Senate has now reached enough votes to stay sane in the eyes of voters; senators now have 24 hours to rectify that. Smiley

With eight votes against to none in favor, this legislation has gone down in flames. Smiley
