I think it's a solid bill. I'll vote aye when it comes to it.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

What about the children of pacifists, Quakers, and others whose religious or personal beliefs prevent them from using weaponry?

What about the children of pacifists, Quakers, and others whose religious or personal beliefs prevent them from using weaponry?

My question exactly. I would hope this is optional, as religious/moral objectors should have a right to not allow their children upon this practice.

[Ex-Assemblyman Steelers]

And what will be the benefits, when we teach our kids to use guns and crossbows? Increase of murders commits by infants?

[Leinad]

Ah, good catch, Truman! I'd obviously hate to make a bill that infringes on anyone's beliefs, especially those part of me (not all, but certainly a part) agrees with.

I propose an amendment:

I suppose that since I technically introduced the bill (it was Classic's idea and original text, but he couldn't introduce it) the amendment automatically passes. Unless I've vastly misunderstood the amendment process.

(Also, the bill's title should be the Firearms Safety for our Children Act of 2016, not 2015. Happy New Year!)

And what will be the benefits, when we teach our kids to use guns and crossbows? Increase of murders commits by infants?

Uh...

People can learn how to kill someone with guns and crossbows already, I doubt this will add to the amount of people attempting murder. This will help keep people from getting hurt or killed in accidents, and help them defend themselves from bad people trying to kill them or other innocent people.

Also, how many "infants" do you know in 5th-12th grade?

[Ex-Assemblyman Steelers]

Ok i used wrong word, minors is what i thinked about. I appreciate your explanation Mr. Governor but this is still not enough for me to vote for bringing weapons to the school.
Another thing which bothers me,  we give $3000 to the school districts for implementation of this program and only $150 for adopters. This is so wrong for me.

Firearms cost a lot more than money than giving a small amount of money to adopters.

Weapons to the school in a sense--it's not like we'd be giving the children weapons to use without strict adult supervision (and, as the bill says, no real ammunition). It's not like every 6th grader will have a pistol in their backpack. (Hopefully none will, and this bill won't do anything to let them.)

School districts and single families are different things. It costs more money to run a school of hundreds of children than a family of no more than 1-4 (unless they're Mormon/Catholic/homeschooled, in which case it could be larger, but still not the same thing as a school with paying teachers and staff and such). And I imagine this would cost the money--only qualified people should be teaching this, right?

Also, I'd be okay with more than $150 for adopting. I think JoMCaR's bill in the Northeast (from a long time ago--I borrowed from it back when I was a Legislator) was $500, for reference.

But, again, it's different. If we were giving $3000 to families for firearm safety, or $150 to school districts for adoption, I'd see your point.

[Pingvin]

I fully support this act. We need is a policy of teaching children gun safety.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

I fully support this act too, it's good for the South.

[Leinad]

Unless anyone has any questions or ideas to improve the bill, I think Haslam should put it to a vote. We have some important stuff in the pipeline, so unless further debate is needed we should get to it.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

Ya, let's take a vote. I VOTE AYE!!!

[Pingvin]

Aye.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

[Ex-Assemblyman Steelers]

Nay!

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

The vote passes 2-1. Great day for the South!

[Classic Conservative]

It is indeed, Thank You Pingvin and Haslam for voting in the affirmative, also Leinad sign this ASAP so we can start teaching our children gun safety.

No problem, and thank you for conceiving this bill
