| Message | We oppose this. Most criminals don't carry military-grade equipment, and for those who do, there's always the SWAT team... |
| Date | 21:48:48, September 06, 2007 CET | From | Regional Acronym Political Establishment | To | Debating the Police Unification: Specialized Soldier Yield |
| Message | Most criminals would carry regular firearms, the same as a police officer. We want our officers to be BETTER equipped than the criminals. |

| Message | At the moment, we believe this is overkill. Had our bills to allow citizens to own any type of weapons passed, then we would be supporting this. Under the current circumstances, however, we do not. |

| Message | Now that the CDC are running around the country, we feel our police need the extra firepower to deal with these insurgents. We have changed our stance, and we are no in favor of this. |

| Random fact: "Treaty-locking", or ratifiying treaties that completely or nearly completely forbid any proposals to change laws, is not allowed. Amongst other possible sanctions, Moderation reserves the discretion to delete treaties and/or subject parties to a seat reset if this is necessary in order to reverse a treaty-lock situation. |
| Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
