L 14.2 - Lincoln Gun Control Repeal Act of 2018 (Passed)

[Peanut]

Lincoln's laws regarding gun control are perfectly in accordance to the Atlasian and Lincoln constitution. What this bill does is sacrifice the well-being and safety of Lincoln's citizens for some platitute about the right to bear arms which is in no way threatened by the protections the region has in place right now. If the argument is that the laws are ineffective, the priority for this Assembly and for the region should be to make them more effective, not to completely eliminate them. Provisions of the law such as the Bump Stock Ban are perfectly reasonable and in accordance with the right to bear arms.

This was law already? It doesn't make any sense ...

1. Class C is for "Assault rifles and other semiautomatic weapons", however by every non-Lincoln definition an Assault Rifle is fully automatic, not semiautomatic.

2. Most handguns and rifles, and even some shotguns are semiautomatic. As an AK47 owner, as the law is currently written I have no idea if id have to obtain a class B license for rifles or Class C for semiautomatics. Ditto if I had a Beretta 9 mm handgun.

3. Bump stocks are considered as machine guns and are thus heavily regulated as to basically make them unavailable.

That ties in with an earlier intervention. The solution is not to repeal this law in such a manner that there is basically no control at all, but write it in a more efficient and conscious way.
