| Message | Cast your minds back to a certain news report: "January 2529 News Report Citizens of Indrala were horrified as news came through of a shooting spree in a small school in the Province of Luratha. Allan Harrison, a frustrated student fed up with school work, entered the school this yesterday morning armed with a gun and began shooting students and teachers indiscriminately. After killing 9 people and wounding 8 more, Allan Harrison committed suicide before being arrest by law enforcement. Former teacher Oswald Roberts told reporters how the community was still in a state of shock and how this tragedy would haunt Indrala for years to come. President Percy Moss has since travelled to the area to attend the funerals of the victims." If you want less of this abominable behaviour, vote for this proposal. |

| Message | It is for rights. We were lenient enough to allow stupid regulationist laws, so this should be a payment back. Anyway, as we all have guns now, there is no need for WMDs anymore. |
