| Message | We too must disagree. On the subject of personal firearms, we support an individual's right to bear arms (just as long as they know how to use their weapon and dont have a dangerous history). Though we consider nuclear weapons to be a bane of humanity, we believe that they are now a necessary evil. They must now be utilized as a deterrant against other nuclear capable nations. |

| Message | We support article two, however in the current political climate, with brownshirts roaming the streets many of our members feel happier with a gun under their pillow. I would request that the OFP amends the bill and offers the two articles as separate bills. |

| Message | Personal firearms can be used by citizens as a defense against dangerous criminals. Primarily, small shop owners likely to be the target of armed robberies would have a chance to defend themselves. If we ban the ownership of firearms, criminals will still manage to obtain them on the black market, while our citizens are left less capable of defending themselves. |

| Message | ok..... why is it that in a country like Australia there are a miniscule amount of murders, shootings, armed robberies etc.... while America, who treasure their right from their Constitution, have a multitude of crime, especially gun related..... |
