Just thought I'd spread the word of my proposal.

Resolution name: No more guns is the resolution.
Description: If we ban guns from citizens, and the immigrants, then we increase the chance of survival from a criminal. If a criminal doesn't have a gun, then there's a better chance for the victim to get away. This will help decrease crime rates. Here are my propositons:

1:) Ban all guns from citizens, and immigrants.
2:) Ban the importation of guns.

Thank you for listening

1:) Ban all guns from citizens, and immigrants.
And as I read this, this would effectivly ban the military and police from having guns, as such I cannot support.

What is a criminal? One who commits a crime, of course. If someone is of the mindset to break laws against rape, robbery, etc...why should a ban of firearms prevent them from obtaining one? Guns will still be available via black market deals. Additionally, Quadlia concurs with the comments of the esteemed delegate from Flibbleites. Preventing police and military ownership of firearms is akin to begging for a heavily armed force of invaders. Quadlia cannot support such a resolution.


Quadlia

In addition to identifying with the concerns of the representatives from Flibbleites and Quadlia, we would like to note that most nations in our world are not in the NSUN, and would not be subject to this ban on guns. This would put all of us at a serious disadvantage in any military conflict and very much impair our ability to defend our citizens.

You can ban things all you want, but people are still going to get them. Just take a look at the ban on drugs.

And if such a resolution would pass, the Holy Empire of Sidestreamer would withdraw from the UN and wait for you to comply as you disarm yourself. Then your army, armed only with pen-knives and police batons, would be crushed.

You are a fool for suggesting this proposal, but considering the passing of the Save the Dolphins resolution, this may have a chance, as absurd as it is.

Being as part of our population is made up of descendents of the now-destroyed United States of America, we find a certain irony in your proposal that you ban guns from honest citizens in order to lessen their deaths from criminals, when in fact criminals are far more likely to own guns illegally. Why don't you just paint your citizens with bullseyes, declare war on a nation forty times your size, and march your nonmilitary citizens towards that nation? It would certainly save time and let the citizens know who really caused their deaths.

We would NEVER support this poorly thought out resolution. It would effectivly destroy our military and police as well as doing nothing to protect our citizens. We see gun ownership as a RIGHT and since criminals would not obey this law crime would only increase. Remember people are criminals because they do not obey laws, this law would be no difference. We also would have our economy badly damaged as would many other nations who have arms industries. If this passed we would leave the UN as we would note it as attempting to destroy our nation.

This is not an issue that transcends national boundaries, and therefor not worthy of UN consideration, in my opinion.
If it does pass, we'll just legalise poisonous automatic crossbows...

If it does pass, ...

I'll be the first to write a repeal.

And if such a resolution would pass, the Holy Empire of Sidestreamer would withdraw from the UN and wait for you to comply as you disarm yourself. Then your army, armed only with pen-knives and police batons, would be crushed.

And the Armed republic of Charleno would do the same and assist sidestreamer by providing automatic aussalt rifles. :mp5: :sniper:

While we would not invade over such an issue we would be happy to provide both Sidestreamer and Charleno with reasonable prices on any needed firearms for their mission. We offer good discounts for bulk buys.
