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.
Change 1
8 Authorised dealing with firearms.
(1) A person carrying on the business of a firearms dealer and registered as such under this Act, or a servant of such a person may, without holding a certificate— (a) have in their possession, purchase or acquire, a firearm or ammunition, or (b) have a relevant accessory in their possession, in the ordinary course of that business. (1A) Subsection (1) above applies to the possession, purchase or acquisition of a firearm or ammunition , or the possession of a relevant accessory, in the ordinary course of the business of a firearms dealer notwithstanding that the firearm , ammunition or relevant accessory is in the possession of, or firearm or ammunition is purchased or acquired by, the dealer or his servant at a place which is not a place of business of the dealer or which he has not registered as a place of business under section 33 or 37 of this Act.

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.
