Firearms Act 1937
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.

5 Application of foregoing provisions to Crown servants
Notwithstanding any rule of law whereunder the provisions of this Act do not bind the Crown, so much of the foregoing provisions of this Act as relates to the purchase and acquisition, but not so much thereof as relates to the possession, of firearms and ammunition to which this Part of this Act applies shall apply to persons in the service of His Majesty in their capacity as such, subject however to the following modifications :— (a) a person in the service of His Majesty duly authorised in writing in that behalf may purchase or acquire such firearms and ammunition for the public service without holding a firearm certificate; (b) a person in the naval, military or air service of His Majesty shall, if he satisfies the chief officer of police on an application under section two of this Act that he is required to purchase or acquire such a firearm or ammunition for his own use in his capacity as such, be entitled without payment of any fee to the grant of a firearm certificate authorising the purchase or acquisition.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
