Message | No. Non-Lethal weapons are just as effective as that of normal ones, but save lives |

Message | Police Taser vs. Citizen AK-47. Take your pick to confront him. AK-47 and other automatic weapons are in the hands of the general public and the police have to stop them with what, non-lethal weapons like tasers and bean-bag guns? |

Message | We kind of like giving the people better weapons than the police. It discourages police brutality and encourages vigilante justice. But we can see why some might see it as a bad thing. |

Message | You guys obviously know very little about non-lethal weaponry. They have guns that fire non-lethal rounds that can easily incapacitate for hours, and have just as an effective range and such as standard weaponry. |

Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
