| Message | We favor this law. So called "civil liberties" have gotten out of hand in this country. You can't go into a pub without hearing people talking about "my right to a gun," or "my right to free speech," or "a free press." Civil rights this, civil rights that they say. But where do they get this stuff? Out of their sphincters? You never hear a real Alorian talking like that. |

| Message | I wont let it go to vote if everyone is against it, I thought we thought it might help security in the long run, plus they should have a gun if there were a ban. Ok I accept criminals could still get hold of guns from the black market, but the same could be said about heroin and ecstasy and we still ban them? " |
