FromWessex High Imperial Party
ToDebating the Right to Bear Arms Act
MessageThe UU party strongly opposes a government allowing its citizens from owning guns without strict licensing regulations. Unrestricted gun ownership presents a clear and present danger to the welfare of citizens that go beyond the individual's need to own such. This position is consistent with our desire for Pontesi to operate a civilian police force rather than a military-dictatorship; guns are unyielding manifestations of power, and no one interest group (industry) or individual (unlicensed civilian) should have access to exercise this power indiscriminately. We find this bill grossly irresponsible.

FromSocial Democratic Party
ToDebating the Right to Bear Arms Act
MessageThe SDP takes issue with the UUP's characterization of our proposal as allowing "unrestricted gun ownership." There are restrictions in our proposal, namely those forbidding ownership by those with a violent past and/or mental illness. We believe this strikes the right balance between individual freedom and public safety.

MessageTremendous support from the Puritanical Party. This would allow more people to properly arm and defend themselves.
