       [Bill-IC] The Nuclear Weapons Proliferation Act
       By: Heavenly Paradise Date: July 12, 2015, 11:31 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       REALIZING:That the states are sovereign entities, as set forth
       in the Constitution, and they have the right to keep and bear
       arms.
       Also REALIZING: That nuclear weapons are an extremely dangerous
       threat to the safety of the region, and must be regulated in
       some way that keeps the sovereignty of the states intact.
       ACKNOWLEDGING:That states have the right to free trade.
       OBSERVRING:That Congress has the ability to make all needful
       laws about the property of the NCSA, and its lands, and that it
       is the duty of the Confederate government to protect the states
       from domestic violence.
       DEFINING:Trade as the action of buying and selling goods and
       services.
       ALSO DEFINING:Trade goods as any of the following:
       1.
       commerce
       commodity, good
       artefact, artifact - a man-made object taken as a whole
       staple, basic - (usually plural) a necessary commodity for which
       demand is constant
       consumer goods - goods (as food or clothing) intended for direct
       use or consumption
       drygoods, soft goods - textiles or clothing and related
       merchandise
       entrant - a commodity that enters competition with established
       merchandise; "a well publicized entrant is the pocket computer"
       export, exportation - commodities (goods or services) sold to a
       foreign country
       fancy goods - goods that are chiefly ornamental
       fungible - a commodity that is freely interchangeable with
       another in satisfying an obligation
       future - bulk commodities bought or sold at an agreed price for
       delivery at a specified future date
       import, importation - commodities (goods or services) bought
       from a foreign country
       merchandise, product, ware - commodities offered for sale; "good
       business depends on having good merchandise"; "that store offers
       a variety of products"
       middling - any commodity of intermediate quality or size
       (especially when coarse particles of ground wheat are mixed with
       bran)
       shopping - the commodities purchased from stores; "she loaded
       her shopping into the car"women carrying home shopping didn't
       give me a second glance"
       sporting goods - sports equipment sold as a commodity
       worldly good, worldly possession - a commodity or good
       associated with the earthly, rather than the spiritual,
       existence of human beings
       salvage - property or goods saved from damage or destruction
       Noting:That nuclear weapons and their blueprints are not a
       service, but simply a danger to the region, and that they do not
       fall under the definition of a trade good. Therefore, the buying
       and selling of nuclear weapons and their blueprints shall not
       fall under the auspices of trade, but dangerous proliferation.
       Congress hereby mandates:That the trade and sell of nuclear
       weapons, and their blueprints or schematics from state to state,
       is henceforth illegal, for the peace and security of the
       NeoConfederate States of America.
       To ensure that this law is enforced, a new government agency
       shall be established.
       1. This agency shall be called the Nuclear Proliferation Agency,
       or NPA.
       2. The job of this organization shall be to watch for the
       proliferation of nuclear weapons and their blueprints, and to
       stop them.
       3. The NPA shall be based in Richmond, but will have a small
       station in every state.
       4. The NPA shall be headed up by the Secretary of Defense, under
       the ultimate direction of the President.
       If the NPA shall find a state to be illegally distributing
       nuclear weapons or blueprints, it shall:
       1. Investigate the situation to ensure that it is true.
       2. Obtain a warrant from the Supreme Court in order to search
       for and seize contraband.
       3. If said contraband be a nuclear weapon, it will be
       confiscated and dismantled, never to be used again.
       4. If said contraband be blueprints, they shall be destroyed.
       If a state is found to be doing illicit actions as defined by
       this bill, possible punishments shall be:
       1.The prohibition of anyone from that state being a presidential
       candidate.
       2.An increased NPA presence in the state.
       3. With a given warrant from the Supreme Court, it is possible
       that a state's nuclear facilities may be searched for more
       shipments of nuclear weapons or blueprints.
       Cases of this magnitude shall be brought before the Supreme
       Court.

       "We dont see why we have to have an NPA in every state. West
       Phoenicia does not even tolerate nukes in states currently
       owning them.And those states with nukes are more than likely to
       dominate the NPA.
       I hate to play devils advocate but this bill restricts newer
       members from constructing nukes but leaves us with Gondor,
       Sparta and USSDEN as well as members they have shared the blue
       prints with.
       "We demand the bill be changed so nations who have nukes and who
       have also shared with other nations be dealt with also"
       Representative Baroness Honey Baroda said rising.. "And the
       chairman if such a bill passes is not a nuke owning state.
       Otherwise that will breed corruption."

       Gondor, FYI, has shared no blueprints for nukes. And neither has
       USSDEN or Sparta. What has been sold is blueprints for nuclear
       reactors, and that is fine. Nuclear energy can also be a power
       source. My reasoning for having an NPA station is so that if Any
       state breaks the law, we will know. It does not restrict newer
       members from building nukes. You would just have to do it
       without help, like I did. Or you can get reactor blueprints. It
       isn't impossible with this bill.

       "The people of West Phoenicia were not born yesterday. The
       intent from the beginning should be made very clear for the
       purpose of why they want the nuclear reactors. For weapons or
       energy. And their intent clearly note. So current nuke owning
       states can not manipulate proceedings and declare they did not
       know it was for nuclear weapon reasons.  "
       "My fears are founded. Seeing that three of the biggest nuke
       owning states are not the most trustworthy! "

       So then what we can do is regulate how the blueprints of the
       reactors may be drawn up, and the specifications can be for
       power only.

       And reactors aren't exactly the gateway to a bomb. Enrichment of
       uranium and actually building a bomb are two very different
       things. Missiles must be built with properly fitting warheads.
       And then there is building, and testing.

       "I formally Second this bill on Gondor's behalf." turning to the
       Representative of West Phoenicia, "How can we be untrustworthy
       of the States that wish to regulate the arms trade of nuclear
       weapons? Both your state and mine has interests in keeping these
       weapons under control why the suspicion? If the man says nuclear
       energy is permitted through this bill, than why the debate?"

       "Listen Gondor, Rep of Ravkan Bluffs butted in. Im still
       supporting this bill but I'm hoping you and other nuclear powers
       will make sure no rebel groups gain access to nukes."

       Speaker langdon stands, "The bill has been submitted and
       seconded, I now open the floor for further discussion. As the
       representative of Missouri I would like to address this bill.
       Since it doesn't deal with the removal of weapons from any state
       or actually prohibit their production we support this bill. We
       would also like to once again note that we have always made our
       research into nuclear power, and only nuclear power, available
       to the public. However, we do have one issue with this bill.
       That is the first penalty for violation of it. Under the section
       of the constitution dealing with amendments this is said:
       Section 1: Upon the demand of any three States the Congress
       shall summon a convention of all the States, to take into
       consideration such amendments to the Constitution as the said
       States shall concur in suggesting at the time when the said
       demand is made; and should any of the proposed amendments to the
       Constitution be agreed on by the said convention, voting by
       States, they shall thenceforward form a part of this
       Constitution. But no State shall, without its consent, be
       deprived of its representation in the Congress. So, if it is
       impossible even through constitutional amendment to deprive a
       state of its representation in Congress we certainly can't
       simply legislate it away."

       "This is a grand bill. Fortunately... DEN is not a nuclear
       state. We've sold and given people reactors, sure, but why build
       a weapon? We've already been fired upon by Sparta!"
