I understand that you're working on the proposal draft right now, so you'd like a prompt response. However, is a bump really necessary after only about 24 hours?
More than likely, the mods are discussing your question as a group to reach a consensus answer. This answer took 8 days to reach; these answers (note the timing of the edit when the response links were edited in) took 10 and 8 days to reach; etc.
Yes, some answers are offered more quickly, but those tend to be more straightforward answers, often to commonly asked questions. Ones that are - in essence - proposal legality checks where you're checking for contradiction/duplication/amendment/etc., with existing legislation - understandably take a bit longer. After all, you wouldn't want one mod to say that it's fine as is and then have a different mod yank it from the proposal list later due to an illegality, right?
Easier said that done, I know, but ... patience.

Cut it out! This nagging is getting very annoying. If you want a hasty decision, you can go with the one I came to after simply reading your title, which was, "Sounds like an amendment. Kill." Somehow, though, I sense this is not your desired outcome. Mods' discussions are constrained by real-life commitments. Possess yourself in patience.

So, given that WA members are supposed to interpret WA resolutions in good faith, you're probably going to cover more with "gun" than with any more detailed definition. "Firearm" seems general enough to convey that you mean weapons that aren't primarily intended to slice or stab.
There will always be nations that will have their legislatures "define the terms 'gun' and 'firearm', as used in WA#Whatever, to mean 'strawberry' ". There are also always going to be nations that vote against a given proposal because in their opinion it doesn't define a term adequately. At some stage, you just have to cut your losses and go with what will make sense to a reasonable reader/nation.

I'm answering this one here because it's general enough to apply to all proposals.
In terms of its effect in the application of its original proposal, "Urges"and "Discourages"are a way of setting out where you want nations to go; for example, if they're making supplementary laws needed to bring the WA legislation into effect in their nations. It's pretty much RP advice -- "The writer would like you to play it this way" -- and it's "binding" only to the extent that nations are expected to implement WA legislation "in good faith".
In terms of subsequent proposals, it's making a claim on the territory. If somebody puts up a proposal that would make WA nations do something you've "urged" them not to do, or stop doing something you said they "should" be doing, then you may, possibly have grounds for a "contradiction" or "duplication" legality challenge. It depends on how the new proposal's written.
