WHEREAS the passage of Resolution 235, “Child Firearm Safety Act” was legitimate and well-intentioned;
WHEREAS despite these positive intentions, it remains utterly nonsensical to prevent children from being given firearms in cases of utmost emergency;
WHEREAS the resolution in question may in fact harm children in nations that has incredibly lax gun laws, and an intruder with a firearm may enter a house, leaving children nigh-defenseless if they have not “received an education in firearm safety and proper use”;
WHEREAS it is odd to specifically restrict children’s access to firearms while, due to the diverse nature of nations within the World Assembly, far more dangerous and harmful weapons may fall into children’s hands, and may cause far more widespread damage;
WHEREAS it is the duty of this assembly to protect as many people as possible, including children;
WHEREAS the target remains extraordinarily vague at times through phraseology such as "an individual... who may regularly encounter a child", "proper use [of a firearm]" and "reasonable", all of which guts the effectiveness of this proposal in all nations who will try to maliciously avoid the spirit of the proposal;
WHEREAS this resolution does not adequately demonstrate that the benefits of the resolution outweigh the drawbacks;
WHEREAS even without these issues, it is a bad use of the World Assembly's resources to be regulating the use of firearms by children when this issue can be effectively tackled by individual member nations, and that the creation of Resolution 235 makes it so that non-compliance measures must be put in place by the World Assembly over a relatively inconsequential issue, when taken on the global scale;
BE IT RESOLVED this World Assembly does hereby repeal Resolution 235, “Child Firearm Safety Act”.
The first proposal I ever drafted was a repeal of GAR235, but this is a better version methinks. Should be quick and easy, I'm trying not to get burnt out but I still have lots of stamps. I wrote this in like 10 minutes without too much thought so please let me know what I did wrong. Love y'all <3
