The bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucracy or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence like the military.

Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
