Government Pushes 13th Amendment to Bolster Crime Fight

With gun violence and organized crime on the rise, the government says it’s time to strengthen the fight. This Wednesday, the public will get a chance to weigh in on the proposed Thirteenth Amendment during a consultation at Swift Hall. Now, officials are making it clear, this isn’t about introducing new laws but about giving the Constitution more teeth to enforce the ones already on the books. And alongside that push, the government is also calling for a specialized gun and gang court to tackle the growing threat of illegal firearms and bold criminal activity head-on.

“You know the thirteenth amendment is a constitutional amendment and we are engaging in the public consultation this Wednesday I believe deputy this Wednesday at swift hall ten AM on Wednesday at Swift Hall, in terms of the thirteenth amendment I’ve said it before and Ill say it again this is not a new legislation this law has been in existence since the year nineteen ninety three we are merely moving it, upgrading it, so to speak to give it an extra layer of protection in our constitution as deputy was able to demonstrate today in our COMSPTAT meeting in explaining the contents of this thirteenth amendment there are more safeguards now in this thirteenth amendment with the declaration of special areas than there are state guards for the state of emergency law that both administrations ours and the previous have been using when it comes to declaring state of emergency. In terms of the specialized gun and gang court I think the time has come for that because we have seen where so many of the offenses that are happening right now across the streets of this country involve illegal fire arms and there is no fare on the part of criminals to be importing or using shooting people recklessly and the case just a week and a half ago with an elderly mother and her handicap son prove that very point that today criminals know no bounds in todays day and age.”
