Drafting a Bill

In order to better understand the challenges of drafting a gun reform bill, I decided to try my hand at the actual process. Although I probably shouldn’t be surprised at this, I have found that drafting a bill is a difficult and involved process. I assumed I would simply be able to write up the set of rules I had decided on in legalese and call it a day, but the bill called for far more specifics than that. I had to consider any and every exception to each part of the bill, dictate how it would all be enforced, and decide punishments for various offenses. I also had to consider how my bill related to previously existing law.
