| Message | "Until we clean up government corruption on all levels, we have no faith that this measure will be used for what it is intended to be used for. This will give partisan judges the power to prevent those persons they feel are their political enemies from owning weapons, while their own allies will be allowed to carry firearms freely. This is another transparent move by the Democratic Party to use their influence within the executive branch against the people. We call for an absolute and free right for all citizens to bear arms." - Oko Yono |

| Message | "I have to agree with the ELF on this matter. After all that has happened to our Party I no longer have any trust in the government at all. We do not want any lunatics or criminals to have guns, but it seems they already do, they're just called the police." -Chairwoman Natasha Danielovich Feterokov |

| Message | ELF, vote for it because the Right to Bear Arms is set for failure and this is at least an improvement over the current law. |

| Message | What happens if a person falls mentally ill after they have purchased the gun? It's too risky. |
