| Message | Why should we restrict the export of simple weapons, like handguns? We have enough problems with industry and unemployment without limiting a possibly lucrative source of employment. |

| Message | Opposed. |
| Date | 19:28:41, December 12, 2007 CET | From | Greenish Liberal Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Trade (Arms) Amendment Act |
| Message | We're in doubt. But we'ld definately support a case-by-case approach: conventional weapons are ok to be exported freely, while more advanced weaponry is only available to allies for example... It combines the best of two proposals and has always been my favorite :D |
