I would like to propose an amendment

Quote
Firearms Safety Act

to ensure we attain common sense weapons reform

Quote
Section I: Standard Regulations and Safety Measures

1. Background Checks shall be mandatory for all gun sales.

 a. In order to purchase a firearm, the prospective consumer must pass this Background Check.

 b. Background Checks shall be conducted by the Bureau of Firearm Safety (BFS).

2. Concealed Carry shall hereby be prohibited.

3. The sale of firearms to any person under the age of 18 shall hereby be prohibited.

4. There shall be a ban on the purchasing, sale, or possession of assualt weapons, in the region of Lincoln, these weapons include semiautomatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns, which can accept detachable magazines, as well as revolving cylindrical shotguns

5. Any weapon that is purchased, sold, or possessed may not have a folding or collapsible stock, a bayonet lug, a threaded barrel, a grenade launcher, or a barrel shroud

6. There shall be a ban on the purchasing, sale, or possession of fully automatic weapons, also known as Title II weapons under the National Firearms Act


Section II: Revising the Bureau of Firearm Safety

1. The Bureau of Firearm Safety (BFS) is to be established.

  a. The BFS shall have an NPC Director that is appointed by the Governor. The director shall lead the bureau and is tasked with the hiring of personnel.

  b. The BFS shall work in tandem with federal resources to administer and report on firearm Background Checks.

  c. The Governor may dissolve and reform the BFS.

Section III: Enactment

1. This act shall take effect upon the appointment of the BFS Director.

Sponsor: PyroTheFox

Debate time for this bill has started and shall last no less than 72 hours

This amendment is designed to get weapons that were designed for killing, finally off of our streets. Assault weapons are not needed for hunting, they are designed to kill, they belong on the battlefield, not on our streets.

Unfriendly. We need to pass this base safety measure first. One that will pass.
Legislation relating to specific types of weaponry should be introduced separately.

I would argue that an assault weapon ban is a basic safety measure, as people do not need to carry around weapons that can allow them to create mass shootings.

Would you classify this as an assault weapon that causes mass shootings? Why or why not?:

If you would call this an assault weapon that creates mass shootings, how many mass shootings would you say have been caused by this gun?


Yes, this is an assault rifle. In fact, it has been used in 12 notable crimes, not to mention the countless times it may have been used, and it went undocumented, This gun warrants a ban

Literally the only one of those crimes that would be arguably "notable" in recent history is the incident in Oslo, which is last I checked, not here.

However, noting one of the "notable" incidents:
Quote
Byron David Smith killings, which occurred on Thanksgiving Day 2012. Smith shot two teenage burglars with his Ruger Mini-14 while they were trying to rob his home.

Good for you that you admit that no one is allowed to protect themselves and their home. Most of us are sensible enough to not defend criminals.

Now, noting that there are only 12 incidents, most of then dating back to the 90s or earlier, can you please note how many exist in circulation that aren't involved in crimes?


Ummm,
"Smith was found guilty of two counts of first degree murder with premeditation after the jury ruled that Smith's life was not in any danger" (Wikipedia).

Regarding the amendment while I support its aim, I have to agree with the Chancellor that we should concentrate on something simple and 100% constitutional first.

I also wonder if a regional assault weapons ban is constitutional and/or enforceable. Not necesarily because of the equivalent to the 2nd amendment, but because of interregional commerce.

What is stopping Lincoln citizens from going to the South or Fremont, buying guns and bringing them back?

Well, I've introduced a bill as a citizen, on the federal level, if that passes, I'm more than happy to away with the regional assault weapon and automatic weapon ban

It won't.

I'm sure that the Labor Party Congress will pass it, when they take over

Aye, this is a good step, but is way too incremental
