| Message | Even though we agree that this bill is in the right direction, it's too radical one: how about hunters and employees of the security sector? Not to mention huge work increase for local police departments in supervising & executing this law. |
| Date | 03:17:21, February 03, 2007 CET | From | Dorvish Popular Front | To | Debating the Firearm Reform, 2354 |
| Message | Hunting is irrelevant in the age of domesticated animals. We do not believe that anyone in Dorvik goes chasing wild cows with guns in order to feed their families. Employee's of the security sector should not be armed - this creates a powerful and unaccountable group in society that can easily abuse civil liberties. And as for complaining about the police workload, the police are there to protect the citizens of Dorvik and protect our democratic institutions. This bill will ensure they do that. |

| Message | Hunting isn't irrelevant but a healthy hobby, mean of animal population control and one part of the income for rural food enterpreuners, especially at Miktar or does NatPro argue that there are no wild animals what so ever in Dorvik? We find it deeply hypocratic that party like NatPro is concerned about civil liberties when its current legislation proposals try to curbe these by giving the state more power. We know very well the duties of the police, but hunting down responsible citizens with weapon licence takes resources off from solving & preventing of real crimes such as robberies, rapes and murders. |

| Message | Oh, so armed robberies, murders related to firearms and rapes with the use of firearms as a tool of terrorisation will not be impacted by this bill? |
