| Message | I can't agree to this, i think there will always be situations, not matter how good the police force is, where they will need to defend themselves with lethal force from those intent on using it against others. |

| Message | There will also always be situations where farmers, miners, and small business owners will need to use lethal force to defend themselves from those intent on using it against them ... yet the SSKC has voted to ban private firearms ownership. |

| Message | No there won't. That will only be the case if the government is like that. And since you are the leader of this nation, we must assume that you are that government. Hypocritical, no? |
| Date | not recorded | From | Communist Party | To | Debating the Sensible Restraint Bill |
| Message | The Sanctaphrax Party is in charge of justice and the Kellarly Party is in charge of defense and internal affairs. Certainly, if the nation were under the Communist Party's dictatorship, our position on this issue would be different. |
