No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

I got rid of some of the more strict measures of the law. In section 4, I increased the duration of a license from 3 to 10 years. I got rid of the provision where someone must pass a mental health evaluation because a physician cannot deny someone a constitutional right. In section 6, I removed the ban on suppressors. Suppressors provide a convenience to gun owners and help prevent hearing damage. A gun shot is still very loud with a suppressor, and there isn’t any evidence that banning them reduces gun homocides. I got rid of the ban on all semi-automatic guns. There isn’t much evidence that banning semi-automatic assault weapons and rifles reduces gun violence. It doesn’t seem that these bans are necessary considering the other gun control measures in the bill. I changed section 9 so that only someone convicted of a crime with a gun can be subject to confiscation. The current law allows for confiscation for merely possessing a banned firearm, which is dangerous and impractical.

There are two sections where I added additonal security measures, sections 3 and 4. In section 3, I added a provision preventing anyone convicted of a violent crime involving a gun from passing a background check for ten years. In section 4, I added a one-week waiting period, which has been shown to reduce suicides.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

The Assault Weapons Ban under Title 9 needs to be retained. There is a large amount of mass shootings that are being stopped by it that would suddenly happen if it were to be repealed. Particularly since the Federal Ban may be repealed in the coming weeks, it is imperative that the Lincoln Ban remain in Place.

If that can be done, I will support the bill.

[S019]

So, after some thinking, I'm fine with some parts of this and not others, thus an amendment

I suppose I could support a bill with everything in the original one but the assault weapons ban reinstated (with a specific definition of an assault weapon), but I would not go much further than that.

Yes, I object. Kind of defeats the point of the bill if all the gun control rollbacks are removed.

Amendment for consideration after Wulfric's, given the historical link between mental health and gun violence removing the need to pass a mental examination sounds frankly idiotic, to put it bluntly.

After some research, silencers make it very hard for police to locate active shooters, gunshots should remain loud so police can find these people and apprehend them in time.

[AGA]

Objection. A mental health examination does not provide and cannot be used to deny a constitutional right.

[S019]

Objection. A mental health examination does not provide and cannot be used to deny a constitutional right.

Quite frankly, someone who has poor mental health should not be able to use a gun. Guns are extremely dangerous, and we have seen numerous instances where people with mental health issues have committed acts of gun violence, rejection of this amendment is frankly just asking for trouble.

[Brother Jonathan]

Nay, if we are still voting on the last amendment, and it doesn't seem to have closed yet.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Nay, if we are still voting on the last amendment, and it doesn't seem to have closed yet.

Correct, vote stays open for 48 hours or until all have voted. Noted and counted.

Currently working on an amendment to address some concerns.
