Constitutional Amendment to Right to Bear Arms

[MAS117]

NAY for the record, sorry I didnt see the amendment was on a vote.

[Gabu]

With eight votes in favor to one against, this amendment has passed.

So, uh, who sets up the regional votes?  Is that me, or the governors of those regions, or what?

Article VII, Section 1:

The Senate, whenever two-thirds of its number shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of this Constitution when ratified by a majority of the People voting in public polls in three-quarters of the Regions. Such votes shall last for exactly one week and shall be administered by the Governor of the Region or other officer as the Law of the Region may provide. Citizens will cast their vote by public post.

[Joe Republic]

Unless anybody particularly objects, I plan to post one voting thread for this amendment and the federal marriage amendment too, provided the latter passes.  No use in separate threads cluttering the board.

Oh yes, I don't know how I missed that.

Thanks.

Nay.  I stayed out of this debate, because I knew it was going to pass regardless of what I did to stop it.  MAS is right, why does anyone, for any reason, need a low potency explosive?  This is maddness.

[Lt. Gov. Immy]

Unless anybody particularly objects, I plan to post one voting thread for this amendment and the federal marriage amendment too, provided the latter passes.  No use in separate threads cluttering the board.

That's a good idea, I think I'll do that too.

As the one who sort of spearheaded this amendment through, I am quite fine with this decision on votes that yall have made; though by the looks of it, my bet would be that the other Amendment does not have sufficient Senate support to pass.

[Peter]

Regardless of when the Regions poll on this issue, this leaves an open slot on the floor of the Senate to be filled, and even though the ultimate conclusion of what happens with this is not known, I suggest we move on.
