| Message | "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed!" The people do not have a right to keep and bear arms. Thus - no right is being infringed. Well. That was easy. |

| Message | It's a God given right, not a government given right. |
| Date | 18:49:38, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Firearm Act |
| Message | The Civic Conservative Party make big claims that they cannot back up. Likatonian law doesn't recognise 'god given rights', except those 'god given rights' that pass through the legitimate political machinery of the Likatonian Convocation. And further, since the One True God is currently Head of State in Likatonia, 'god given rights' are easily verifiable - just ask Immeressen what he decrees. |

| Message | I say guns are for those who have been given a right by ME; selected members of the population, within the armed forces and police, mainly. Archmandrite Zhelezo Immeressen, your God. |
| Date | 00:06:02, July 17, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Firearm Act |
| Message | There. The CCP have their answer. Access to firearms is not a god given right. And the One True God himself has taken time out of his busy schedule to show them the error of their ways. Say 'thankyou', CCP. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
