This is the same bill that was vetoed by the Governor in July. The current composition of the LGC indicates this should now enjoy a veto proof majority. Passing this key legislation is essential to keeping dangerous weapons off our streets and protecting our children from mass shootings, especially with the federal assault weapons ban being likely to be repealed soon.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

This has my complete and total support.

[KaiserDave]

Foolish assumptions

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

Since I believe we're all familiar of the contents of this, I move to suspend the rules to the end that a final vote immediately begin.

24 hours to object.

[AGA]

Why does this Court think that the Constitution doesn't apply to them?

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Why does this Court think that the Constitution doesn't apply to them?

Why do you think a piece of paper matters more than innocent lives?

[KaiserDave]

Why does this Court think that the Constitution doesn't apply to them?

Good question!

[WD]

The Lincoln General Court has only declined in quality over the past few months. No surprise that this joke of a bill is on the floor.

[AGA]

Why does this Court think that the Constitution doesn't apply to them?

Why do you think a piece of paper matters more than innocent lives?

So you're not even going to pretend this is Constitutional? The legitimacy of this Court is derived by that same piece of paper, and this bill could be struck down after being enacted anyway.

Wulfric has no legitimacy to pass legislation

Wulfric has no legitimacy to pass legislation

All 3 members of this Lincoln General Court were democratically chosen by the people of Lincoln in perfect accordance with our constitution. If you wanted an anti-gun control Court you should have gotten enough of those candidates to declare in time and then turned people out to vote for them. The Court is not responsible to cater to electoral apathy.

[Brother Jonathan]

I object to the suspension of the rules. This bill, if we are going to pass it—which I hope we do not—needs serious work. I will introduce an amendment to that end.

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

The question is on the motion to suspend the rules then. A 2/3 majority is required.

Aye

[KaiserDave]

Wulfric's attacks on our institutions will not go unanswered!

[Brother Jonathan]

Nay

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Aye

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

On a 2-1 vote the rules are suspended.

The question is on passage of the bill.

Aye

[Brother Jonathan]

Nay

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Aye

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

The bill is passed on a 2-1 vote

[S019]

I wholeheartedly support this legislation and commend the legislature on its swift passage, thank you for taking this crucial action to save lives, we will be forever indebted to you.

[KaiserDave]

Due to constitutional concerns, and the speed at which this was past. I will be vetoing this. We can pass an Amendment to the FF Act, I will support it, but not without consulting me or rushing it through without necessary debate. I will VETO this.

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

I notice a motion to override this veto. We will vote once a replacement for Deputy Crane has been chosen.

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

As (edit: Neolib) has been projected as the special election winner, we will commence the vote to override the veto. It will be held open to allow her to swear-in and vote.
