Firearms (Amendment) Act 1936
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
6 Miscellaneous offences in connection with firearm certificates, permits and register of firearms dealers
(1) If any person makes any statement which he knows to be false for the purpose of— (a) procuring, whether for himself or any other person— (i) the grant, variation or renewal of a firearm certificate; or (ii) the grant of a permit under this Act; or (iii) the entry of any place of business in a register of firearms dealers; or (b) procuring the registration of himself or any other person as a firearms dealer; he shall, for each offence, be liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or to a fine not exceeding twenty pounds, or to both such imprisonment and fine. (2) In any case where— (a) a firearm certificate is revoked, or is cancelled by the court under subsection (1) of section eleven of the principal Act; or (b) the name of a firearms dealer is removed from the register, the chief officer of police revoking the certificate or removing the name, or, in the case of a cancellation of a firearm certificate, the chief officer of police by whom the certificate was granted, shall by notice in writing require the holder of the firearm certificate to surrender it, or the firearms dealer to surrender his certificate of registration, as the case may be, and if the holder or firearms dealer fails to do so within twenty-one days from the date of the notice, he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding twenty pounds : Provided that, where an appeal is brought against the revocation of a firearm certificate or the removal of a name from the register, this subsection shall not apply to that revocation or removal unless the appeal is abandoned or dismissed, and shall in that case have effect as if for the reference to the date of the notice there were substituted a reference to the date on which the appeal was abandoned or dismissed.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
