| Message | We see no need to change the current. Guns are a tool if theres is no need in what u are required to do for said tool then why would we care if we arent allowed to have it. Also if your going to complain about freedom. We are elected to make sure society is maintained our job is hard enough as it is why fight to make it worse. Also anyone who lives to be an officer of Baltusian law should be put in the least danger as possible anyone like them who devotes themselves to protect our values should never be needlessly harmed. |
