| Message | We may be able to support this - we certainly agree with gun rights, but we are not in favour of allowing criminals and the mentally ill to own firearms. As such, we are undecided on article 2. We will abstain from any voting on this legislation for the time being. |
| Date | 10:05:07, February 15, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Elitist Party | To | Debating the Self Defence Bill |
| Message | The proposal is unacceptable... We would inform the AWF that gun ownership was regulated very recently by the unanimity of the parties. So this proposal cannot pass. |
| Date | 03:27:31, February 16, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Restoration Party | To | Debating the Self Defence Bill |
| Message | The Orange Party supports this proposal and wishes to inform the REP that the prior gun control bill was not unanimous. |
