SENATE BILL: Repeal of the Federal Assault Weapon... Act (Passed)

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Amendment is friendly.

[YE]

Fixing a grammar error in an amendment is kinda a stretch.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Yeah, grammar changes can be done by the PPT/DPPT.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Yeah, grammar changes can be done by the PPT/DPPT.

I tend to forget that is an explicit power in the rules, mainly because for so long it wasn't.

Either way, going to declare the amendment adopted.

[Dr. MB]

Seems like this should pass the senate so why don't you get a vote started?

[YE]

Motioning for a final vote.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Motioning for a final vote.

I second the motion.

[S019]

The Senate would be well-advised to adequately debate this, I'd urge them not to rush it through. This is very consequential and if passed hastily, would lead to a spike in mass shootings. The Senate has done little to address these concerns.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Motioning for a final vote.

I second the motion.

Senators have 24 hours to object.

[windjammer]

Why people are not trying to debate any amendment?
Why rushing like that?

[Former President tack50]

Objecting to the final vote motion. There should be more debate on this bill.

The proponents of this bill have not outlined any reason as for why it should be passed.

[Former President tack50]

Introducing the following amendment.

SENATE BILL

Repeal of the Federal Assault Weapon and Automatic Weapon Ban Act

To repeal the misguided and ineffective assault weapons ban.

Be it enacted by both houses of the Congress of Atlasia

1. All parts of the Federal Assault Weapon and Automatic Weapon Ban Act are hereby repealed.

2. This repeal shall become effective on January 1st, 2041

[Esteemed Jimmy]

I object to the amendment.

[YE]

This is an absolute waste of time.

We do not intend to simply stand idly by while you repeal a law that has saved lives and will continue to.

You still never proved it with a source.

Honestly, isn't it common sense that military-style weapons don't belong on the streets, not sure how you can deny this in good faith.

that's the point, literally everyone's position on this is known so it's not worth debating much

Considering you have made clear on multiple occasions that no weapons should be in the hands of civilians and you support repealing our right to bear arms, anything you have to say isn't worth debate.

4.) When debate on legislation has halted for longer than 24 hours and the legislation has been on the floor for more than 72 hours, any Senators may call for a vote on said legislation. The presiding officer shall open a vote if no other member of the Senate objects within 24 hours of the call for a vote. When the legislation has been on the floor for more than 72 hours, any Senators may motion for cloture. Upon the concurrence of two-thirds of the Senate, the Senate shall end debate, and proceed to a final vote. If the legislation has been on the floor for more than 336 hours, or debate has ceased for 24 hours, a simple majority is needed in order to end the debates. The presiding officer shall then open a final vote.

Some PMs have led me to believe that there is some confusion as to how cloture works or is initiated in the Senate, so I am just gonna leave this here.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

The pending business is Tack's Amendment. Someone should open a vote on that.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The pending business is Tack's Amendment. Someone should open a vote on that.

Amendments have a minimum debate time in the Senate, plus the election cycle normally slows things down in the chamber.
