| Message | We will vote against this. The police must have the option to arm themselves in dangerous situations. They are morally obligated to be able to deal with any individual that threatens the safety of Kundrati's citizens. Disarming our police in this manner will only increase the risk to our citizens. They deserve better than that. They deserve a police force that can deal with the most dangerous criminals. |

| Message | We would support a bill involving two-tier policing. In the meantime, we think non-lethal weapons are a good idea. You can't bring back the victims of accidental shootings. |
