| Message | As unlikely as it may seem, the AAP believes the Conservatives may be trying to introduce TOO MUCH freedom to the citizens of Likatonia. The AAP sees risk in 'free' sale of arms... since 'free' sale implies no checking... and that MIGHT mean selling weapons to insurgents masquerading as citizens. |

| Message | We shall take this into consideration, by suggesting that the police will be more heavily armed, and the military will be able to back up the civil powers with greater ease. Remember that the current government is very Liberal indeed, herefore we do not see how abuse could occur. |
| Date | 23:01:41, September 21, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Party for Equality | To | Debating the CPL Firearms Bill |
| Message | We agree with the AAP. Gun control has ever been the LPE's maverick issue, where we believe in limiting freedom as much as possible, unlike our usual policies. This is an unacceptable suggestion - civilian owned guns do enough accidental damage as it is. |

| Message | We wish to see our citizens armed to the teeth, only then can the government be held to account properly. |

| Message | We of the RLP feel that there need to be some restriction beyond age to the purchase of firearms. For example, someone with prior convictions on firearms related charges sho8uild not be permitted to purchase them again after serving his or her term. Therefore, without amendments to prevent this sort of situation, we must regrettfully oppose, much as we approve the concept of an armed citizenery. We do believe in gun control. Hit what you aim at. |

| Message | amendments made, to vote. |
| Date | 05:12:34, September 24, 2005 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the CPL Firearms Bill |
| Message | The AAP cannot endorse the removal of so many safeguards. WHile we support freedom, we support a freedom that protects. |
