| Message | We agree with the DFM in favoring this proposal, but feel that this is the only possible improvement to the current policy. To hold these weapons in reserve, to deter their possible use against us by an aggressor, we feel to be the most prudent position; second best would be to ban them entirely, as is the current law; but either of these would be far preferable over recklessly looking at these horrible devices as just another weapon. |
