| Message | Why ??? I believe this was implemented to get rid of some of the large outdated military equipment that a massive military investment in Hobrazia exchanged. The large sums that has been put in reinforcements, production etc. is in no way earned in yet. Also we still have a large amount of equipment that still can be sold to raise money for more investment in technology and equipment. |

| Message | And we still will. We believe the point missed by our government colleagues is that there will not necessarily be any fewer arms sales, merely that the government can guarantee that those weapons are sold to those least likely to utilise them against our nation in the future. We have no wish to see any significant reduction in the sale of arms overseas, weapons are an extremely lucrative business, but it would be improper of us to allow their sale to any nation or paramilitary that might attempt to use them against our people. |

| Message | Very well spoken we say so party, i belive that we need to export arms as a benifical part of our economy, but that we need to be careful of who we sell them to. |
| Date | 13:29:43, November 23, 2007 CET | From | Hobrazian Peoples Party | To | Debating the Military Arms Bill |
| Message | We must say that if we are to be attacked by people using our own weapons, we are very well equipped with the technological and physical conditions of such weapons, which then will be of almost no use to those we fight. Also, if this really is your wish, we should legislate to only sell to close allies as this will give the parliement a controlling role in sales of weapons and to reasure that those buying our weapons will be the lesat interested in attacking us. |
