| Message | We honestly do like most of this; however, when things were left entirely legal by national standards and then left to local, this means areas can restrict rights, which we will not stand for. Most of it, though, is simply regulation being unregulated. We wish we could vote in favor, but we must abstain as this has conflicting works to us. |
