| Message | I'm tempted to roll back my support. With licenses is a good system. It helps ensure that people only own guns if they have passed training requirements and haven't mis-used them before. |

| Message | It ensures the unsuitable or the criminal individuals in society do not have access to firearms. It is currently not banned but regulated., |

| Message | There is already plenty of training - but that doesn't help if your life is in sudden danger. Government takes a long time to do anything ...and if you need a gun tomorrow to protect yourself or your family, getting your guns licenses are not going to work. You'll be dead by the time your permit comes. |

| Message | In case you start getting stalked by a serial killer,or you may have moved to dangerous neighbourhood. You may have found something that somebody powerful does not want you messing around with, you may even be an informer for the police. All these situations are dangerous but are by no means illegal. |
