| Message | NO, NO, NO!!! We strongly support Free Trade as well, but we cannot allow weapons to be freely sold to ENEMIES of Rutania was well as terrorists like OSAMA BIN LADEN. This is common sense. |

| Message | To those who argue that this bill would put weapons in the hands of our enemies or terrorists, I remind you that they are going to obtain weapons somehow in any case. We may as well make a profit on it. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
