| Message | We are torn on this measure. It sounds reasonable, but we abhor any infringements of individual firearm rights. Perhaps assurances that this bill will not be the first step of an incremental movement to remove said rights will allow us to vote for the bill. |

| Message | I can assure you, that I favor citizen rights in the area of gun ownership, and I would personally oppose any further intrusion on this matter, but I believe this to be the optimal policy to help stop weapons from falling into dangerous hands. |

| Message | Just because I am insane and a convicted murderer shouldn't mean I am not allowed to own an AK47!! |
| Date | 18:02:23, October 26, 2007 CET | From | Wantuni Liberal Socialist Democrats | To | Debating the Firearms Safety Screening Initiative |
| Message | We agree. Too many deadly weapons fall into the wrong hands through the carelessness of the current legislation. |

| 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. |
