Objection again and I will be proposing an amendment later today that I think strikes a fair compromise

no1 is gonna vote for ur amendment

At least I actually bother to do my job and not just show up once a month to vote.

There's 80 million privately owned handguns and 30 thousand psychiatrists in the country. Each psychiatrist would hypothetically have to interview about 2,666 people each month for this to work.

You should know by now that I don't take your opinion seriously, anyways I am open to modifying or striking that section if need be, I will have good faith discussions, but not with fascists who hate me, no that's who I'm not having good-faith discussions with. I don't even know why you expect me to take you seriously given how much you hate me.

[WD]

I will not support an amendment that creates a national gun registry, and the whole psychiatrist thing is simply cartoonish. This bill is already a massive compromise, and trying to water it down further is not an option. We have the votes to pass this legislation, it will be signed into law and the Senator from New Jersey should accept that.

Awww. I can tell you really missed me bud.

[Pericles]

Of course I do not support this. There is no good reason why we need to pass any bill at all that weakens our gun laws, and as a result makes Atlasians less safe. If people want to offer constructive amendments that clear up any remaining loopholes in our gun laws that we didn't get to, then I'm happy to engage. I also will object if the proper legislative process is not followed every step of the way, and the Senate leadership must put its personal views aside.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

So, not that this should surprise anyone but I voted against the AWB in its inception and I will sign a bill that scales it back.

[Joseph Cao]

I see I missed another lovefest. If I am not mistaken, did S019 declare that he does not take the arithmetical operation 80000000/30000 = 2666 seriously?

How about this?

Background checks of the kind you describe are already required federally for every gun purchase in Atlasia, banned or no, and the AWB did not change that. This amendment is redundant.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I also will object if the proper legislative process is not followed every step of the way, and the Senate leadership must put its personal views aside.

The "Proper" Legislative Process:
Final vote motion's valid w/o UC Override: December 11th, 07:17:33 PM
Cloture Requires Just Simple Majority: December 13th, 07:17:33 PM

If you want the filibuster to be a realistic thing you kind of need to get rid of that "cloture requires simple majority after 168 hours" language.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Whats the head count on full repeal just for kicks?

[Continential]

Whats the head count on full repeal just for kicks?

All Feds minus Spark, MB+WD+Myself iirc.

Guns and explosives are critical to the revolution don't you know.

Wait so are we proceeding to cloture vote?

Every step between debate and vote:

If before minimum debate time
1. Senator motions to override the rules and proceed immediately to a final vote
2. PPT calls 24 hours for objections to the final vote
3. If no one objects, the vote is opened
4. If someone objects, then you have to suspend the rules via vote (towards the bottom of the rules, used to be 2/3rds but I haven't seen a vote on overriding the rules in years as most people give up and wait.
5. Vote proceeds on cloture requiring 2/3rds for the first week and a majority thereafter
6. If approved, a final vote is opened.

If after minimum debate time
1. Senator motions for a final vote
2. PPT or deputy calls 24 hours on the final vote motion
3. Someone objects
4. Senator motions for Cloture
5. Vote proceeds on cloture requiring 2/3rds for the first week and a majority thereafter
6. If approved, a final vote is opened.

Of course, it’s been well past the minimum debate time. After this amendment, my hope is that we can proceed straight to a final vote.
