Description[?]:
This bill seeks to UNIFY Likatonia by proposing a COMPROMISE solution to the sale of conventional arms. Naturally, of course, we both STRONGLY support that people should not have a right to sell arms to terrorists are enemy nations. However, does it make sense to forbid citizens to sell arms to nations that have friendly relations with us??? Thank you for your full support. |

| Message | Of course it makes sense to "forbid citizens to sell arms to nations that have friendly relations with us". Just because the Lodamese government is our chum on the international stage, doesn't mean there are no Lodamese terror groups just looking for weapons to bring across the border. |

| Message | We, as always, refuse to lay down and permit Likatonia to become the gun-runner of Seleya. |
