| Message | Mr. Speaker, What does a democracy such as Holy Luthori Empire need paramilitaries for? We should let diplomacy and ideology, and the will of the people to determine Luthorian politics, not violence. I yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We strongly oppose. The Common Bill of Rights guarantees the absolute right to bear arms to any legal subject of His Majesty and the current law is just an extension of that right. Paramilitary and militia organizations are already strictly regulated by the government and a ban is a step towards centralization and socialism. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We are not a socialist party, in fact, our economic policy is probably more right-wing and free market than the CIL's. We simply feel that violence and terrorism should play no role in a democratic society. I yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, We did not insinuate that the LPP itself was socialist. Paramilitaries are bound by the same law as anybody else and are not entitled to commit acts of violence or terrorism. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Luthorian People's Party is not a socialist party, but they are a party of the polls tho!!! I Yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, After comments made by the CIL regarding our conduct when talking about other parties we have, so far, refrained from doing so and have listened to their advice. I would like to urge the LIP to take the same advice and to discuss the matters at hand, rather than making cheap attacks on our party. I yield. |
