Nail 3 '-1 vote " is based on statistics and mathematics of Indian elections. There is nothing against it in the Representation of People's Act and a simple Rule to allow it shall get it implemented. It will definitely alter / shakeup the present party systems and bring cleaner people into politics.
Nail 1's logic is very complicated for decent people like us to get at the first or second expositions. Faujis liek you who have fought against misguided armed citizens will resist it even more. However, for all its negatives its few positives (and they do exist) outweigh the considerations against it.
As IAC shall be going in for drafting its manifesto very soon, we are giving more time to receive a few more ACTION points from our members. After that it is upto the sub-groups (a mini referendum in its own way where all arguments are thrashed out privately) before the draft being put to the General Body via this and other mailing lists.

Sarbajit,Whilst I am entirely in agreement with your Nail 2, I have reservations about Nail 1 and 3.The debate on the right to bear arms is ongoing even in the US in the light of several shootings in schools, gurudwaras etc. I do not think India is ready for such a law. If indeed such a law is considered AND we are a federation of states, then we also need to consider the right to secede. If I am not mistaken, there is such a clause in the US Constitution. That could end up in balkanisation as so many insurgencies are raging for several decades without resolution. Availability of arms would also add fuel to these movements. I do not think that the strategic establishment which wields a fair amount of influence over government will agree to any such move.We have debated the negative vote in detail. We could consider a mini referendum?Pavan Nair
