| Message | A spokesperson from HSJP comment on this bill earlier: "Even though, the arguments the We Say So! Party used in addition to the main proposal of the bill are very clear and contain a seed of truth in them, our party will not be supporting the bill. Despite the fact that it might sound like an oxymoron, but acceptance of this bill not permitting to own firearms under any circumstances to individuals in our country, will indicate a step towards a military state.
