| Message | We would be ok with limiting gun ownership slightly, but we oppose requiring weapons to be carried openly, as this would slightly hinder the Independent Militia. |

| Message | We ideologically support. OOC: CP did'nt you make the bill that created the current laws on the subject? Or was that FDP? |
| Date | 04:57:26, April 28, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the CP.0096.2567 Gun Control Bill |
| Message | OOC: Must have been FDP. This is my ... ?third? attempt at stricter gun control. First was when we had the school shooting a few years after I joined. CP Bill #14: http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=172630. You didn't support it then because of your militia, I believe. Much the same reason as NPP. |

| Message | OOC: Ah, ok, was'nt sure. And it was in character for the milita part, but OOC because I'm a pro-gun rights leftist. |

| Date | 07:26:08, April 29, 2008 CET | From | Anti-Federalists of Free Sekowo | To | Debating the CP.0096.2567 Gun Control Bill |
| Message | Weapons are a deterrent, in most cases, however, the advantage to allowing concealment would be that violent criminals wouldn't know who they could attack, and who is armed. We strongly support this bill. |
