| Message | Once again we call on the Likatonian senate to end the free trade in arms. We believe the factors that should be taken into account before authorising an arms sale should include, the likelihood of those arms being used against Likatonia and it's allies, as well as the likelihood of hose weapons being used in unprovoked wars of conquest, or to repress the populations of countries ruled by tyranical regimes. We believe Likatonia should continue to export arms to countries faced with the threat of international aggression or internal strife, as well as to our allies that could help us face any coomon enemies. |

| Message | The PCP supports this measure. This isn't referring to handguns, it's referring to tanks and machine guns. It's also referring to large orders. We shouldn't be feeding wars in other countries with weapons. We should monitor arms sales. I would prefer setting it so we can sell arms freely to close allies instead though. |

| Message | Our arms industry depends on the free exportation of weapons for its continued growth. These sales give jobs to our people, as well as providing the funding for researcha nd development projects giving us the arms of the future. We of the RLP oppose shutting down this flow. |

| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
