| Message | There has been concern voiced about the populace being powerless against the police if guns are outlawed for private citizens. We feel that this is a better solution than allowing free posession of guns, and will reduce incidences of police brutality. |

| Message | all things are lethal I vote against this bill Our Police dont need to carry guns bet they do need Batons and MAce which funnily enough can kill! |

| Message | Lethal in this case means weapons specifically designed to kill rather than disable. Therefore it does not preclude batons or mace IMO |
