| Message | Honestly if we're going to have them and we're going to say we'll use them, why should we have to wait and be hit to use them. The threat of nuclear war has prevented just that on Terra for almost 5 centuries. |

| Random quote: "Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." - Tenche Coxe |
