| Message | The right to bear arms (which is not even a right at all) a God Given right? Whatever happened to "Thou shallt not kill"? And what about the rights of those who do not wish to live next to an armed man? I can live with mere restrictions on owning firearms, but allowing them to own and purchase guns freely goes to far! At least a mental test is required, and a test to see whether they can handle a gun decently. We don't want lunatics to get their hands on guns, do we? |

| Message | While i understand the RSDP somewhat in their opposition to this bill i do find that their assumption that gun owner=murderer to be fundamentally wrong, judgemental and prejudiced. In future perhaps the RSDP could refrain from equating law abiding gun owners with murderers. |

| Message | We don't need strict licensing either! We all know what that means, just like those in Fredricksburg decided to use the "strict license" requirement to ban drugs (OOC: I'm referring to the real life actions of the federal (US) government in controlling pot, quite funny really, they forced people to get licenses to own pot, but in order to get the license they had to come, pot in hand, to a police station, who would of course, arrest them for owning pot without a license) |

| Message | I heard about that. We would actually support this bill now if you propose it again. |
