This is a progressive bill that protects the constitutional rights of poor and disadvantaged Atlasian citizens.

Nonviolent criminals who have paid their debt to society and immigrants seeking a better life have constitutional rights too and Congress should protect those rights. The ban on crazies, fugitives, people under protective orders, people on the no-fly list, and violent felons/misdemeanor domestic assaults is maintained and misdemeanor brandishing of a firearm was added as a disqualifying crime.

This also protects the rights of vulnerable atlasian peasants and workers who live in public housing. Our proletariat comrades shouldn't forfeit their rights for taking advantage of a housing option WE provide. As Karl Marx said "Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."

Please pass this progressive liberal social justice pro-worker bill.

If the crime is long enough (one year as before this bill) yeah; even non violent ones. Not forever but still for a while.

Also, more importantly drug addicts should not own guns. Or people convicted of domestic violence. Or non-immigrant visa holders.

With a majority of senators voting to pass this bill, the vote will close in 24 hours or when all senators have voted, whichever is sooner, and any senator who wishes to change his or her vote must do so during that interval.
