Amendments to the Civil Liberties policy

Add the following section to the Preamble:

Gun Control

The agreement does not unreasonably restrict personal liberty in the use or ownership of firearms for legitimate purposes, while insisting on standards to ensure basic community safety and to limit proliferation into criminal enterprise.

Add the following section to the Policy Text:

2.6 Gun Control
