| Message | As our membership in the International WMD Abolition Movement shows we cannot accept article 1. We also cannot accept article 2 as it limits our options for arms sales, at present we coould only trade arms with the Selucian Empire if it was implemented. |

| Message | My membership of GAMA and World Nuclear League show that i am in favour of nuclear deterant and with arms sales i feel it's unethical to sell arms to anyone but close allies (I know you feel nuclear weapons may be unethical but we'll just have to dissagree on these things) |

| Message | For Hobrazia the fact that nuclear weapons are extremely expensive is more of a reason to not buy them. |

| Message | Having Nuclear weapons is a pointless endeavour. Rather than constructing our own weapons we should be attempting to put pressure on those countries who already have said weapons to decommission them. Change to Artilce 2 is also unrequired. We trust in our Government, and all those Parties that could currently become a part of said Government, to use the current law sensibly. Limiting our options on the ability to sell weapons, should we find a requirement, would not only be foolish, but also economically unsound. |

| Message | @TP: Currently we have the ability to only sell to our close allies. That's the point of having it on a case-by-case scenario; that way we can carefully screen to which nation states we sell our arms. |
