Firearms Act 1968
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.

30D Revocation of certificates: supplementary.
(1) Where a certificate is revoked under section 30A or 30C of this Act the chief officer of police shall by notice in writing require the holder to surrender the certificate.

(4) If an appeal is brought against a revocation or partial revocation— (a) this section shall not apply to that revocation or partial revocation unless the appeal is abandoned or dismissed; and (b) it shall then apply with the substitution, for the reference to the date of the notice, of a reference to the date on which the appeal was abandoned or dismissed. (5) This section shall not apply in relation to— (a) the revocation of a firearm certificate on any ground mentioned in section 30A(2), (3) or (4) of this Act; (b) the revocation of a shot gun certificate, if the chief officer of police serves a notice on the holder under section 12 of the Firearms Act 1988 requiring him to surrender forthwith his certificate and any firearms and ammunition in his possession by virtue of the certificate.

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.
