| Message | Devolving the right to implement coercion is an affront to the legislative process and indeed the very idea of democracy. Do we want the youth of this nation to be able to own a handgun? No. If we create a legitimate market for weaponry then we increase the supply to the black market. |

| Message | We feel that prohibiting loyal, law abiding Dorvish citizens from owning firearms is an even worse affront to their civil rights. |
