| Message | But a few things, first, you spelled it "Jakonia", and second, do you have any proof to back up the statement "An average of 5 children are killed every day in gun related accidents" I agree with that guns should not be owned by anyone, but, I don't see how you can just pull up that statment about children being shot |

| Message | If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns! Guns don't kill people, people kill people! Other hackneyed-yet-mostly-true NRA slogans! |

| Message | Heh, thats like that quote I see at the bottom all the time by that one guy(lol) "Guns dont kill people, people kill people - but I think guns help" |
| Date | 14:36:49, August 09, 2007 CET | From | Agnostic Theism Coalition | To | Debating the Gun Ownership |
| Message | We cannot stand to see this bill pass. Criminals will still find a way to get guns, citizens need a way to protect them selfs. As long as people are responsible with the weapons, there is no reason to take them away. And I believe most citizens are responsible. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
