| Message | (1) We believe that all Likatonians have a right to carry a concealed weapon, but the citizen should be ***trained*** on how to properly use a firearm by law enforcement personel. [oppose] (2) This discriminates against citizens that has an illness just like someone with High Blood Pressure. Studies have shown that people with high blood press are prone to bouts of stress and aggression. Therefore, should these people be discriminated in their execution of their right to self-preservation??? [strongly oppose] (3) Strongly support!!! (4) strongly oppose!!! We should encourage citizens to have children via tax credits and other economic incentives. More people means more ingenuity, creativity, and productivity. (5) strongly support; (6) ok, but we would support a ban on assalt weapons. |
