Criminals don't care about the 10-20-Life rule.  If they're gonna kill someone, they will.

Exactly.  That's why ordinary citizens need to be allowed to carry firearms to protect themselves from those criminals who would do them harm.

Upon the passage of this bill:

1. Any Atlasian citizen who registers with the government may carry a concealed handgun no larger than 9mm.

2. The Atlasia government shall institute a 10-20 Life law to prosecute those who commit gun crimes.Click Here to read the real law.

3. If any Atlaisan citizen uses a concealed handgun in self defense it must be proven by a court of law. If it is ruled that they weren’t acting in self defense they will be charged based on the 10-20-Life Law.


If you wish to add to this bill I am open to suggestions! Let the debate begin! Smiley



This bill was proposed before me by MasterJedi

I wish to amend this bill to remove Section 3.  I feel this section of the bill does damage to the basic foundation of American law that a person is innocent until proven guilty.  A man or woman who claims to have shot a person in self defence should only be brought into a court of law if there is at least some amount of evidence showing that their act was not in self defence.  By automatically requiring all those who may have used a gun in self defence to defend themselves in a court of law is a violation of the basic principle of innocent until proven guilty.

Secondly, this section is unnecessary.  It goes without saying that any shooting incident would be investigated by the police.  If the evidence suggest that a person did not in fact act out of self defence, that person will be prosecuted using the same procedures as any other criminal.  There is no need to alter the criminal justice system for the perpetrators of such crimes.

However, I fully support the first two sections of this bill.

The first vote was for the amendment.  I just spaced out and voted for the bill a second time.  I'd forgotten I already voted for it!

I can be a real space cadet sometimes.
