This is a non-starter for me more or less.

[YE]

Silencers/suppressors are used by hunters.  Though I am a non-member of Parliament, I call on this body to reject section 2-2.

Most of this bill is being gutted in my amendment I’ll type up when I get home. Of course, my amendment may not pass.

[YE]

Amendment: MP's have 24 hours to object. If they do, amendment goes for a full vote.

Amendment is adopted. 72 hours of debate still allowed.

I'm not an MP in the House of Commons anymore, but I am concerned about this bill as it stands, and the issues with it should be brought to the attention of all MPs here. I'm a supporter of the Second Amendment, but this has gone from being too extreme on one side of the gun issue to being too extreme on the other side.

I'm concerned by the additions to section 2, which infringe upon states' rights. Surely, states should be allowed to decide their laws based on what's best for them, so that the rest of Fremont and Atlasia can learn from their successes and their failures? The removal of section 4 is concerning. In particular the removal of clause 1 concerns me, as this enables the continuation of the 'Charleston loophole', as due to an insufficient waiting period Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof was able to get his hands on a gun despite ultimately failing a background check. At the very least the FBI should be allowed to appeal in cases where they have serious reason to believe handing over a gun would be dangerous, though I'm actually working on this issue right now in the Atlasian Senate so the exact approach to resolving this issue may change. But the loophole has to be closed-there are people's lives at stake here.

The original bill went too far in establishing a gun registry, but the gun show loophole should be close. And with Section 5-since bump stocks are still banned in section 2 and there'd be usefulness in penalizing violations of gun laws, clause 2 should remain in the bill.

I'm confident that there is a reasonable middle ground on this issue, but neither the original bill or this bill are it, and neither should be passed into law. 
Thanks
Senator Pericles of Fremont

I'll restore parts of section 4 and 5 tomorrow. Section 2 is my attempt at dismanlting the California's gun control laws so I'll leave that in there..

My plan is:
To introduce the aforementioned amendment.
Object to the amendment tactfully so I can move this for a vote on the amendment.
Won't spoil my end plan for this though

Amendment: MP's have 24 hours to object. If they do, amendment goes for a full vote. (Gutting of half of nSection 2 is temporary; I want a vote on that section of the bill)
