| Message | Mr Speaker, We are very sympathetic towards most of the content of this bill, but stripping law-abiding citizens of their right to self-defense is a deal breaker. We must therefore vote against this act as a whole. Troy Overton MP Member for Elbian RFR Justice Spokesman |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, It startles me that anyone can be this conservative. We must of course accept that some people are living another kind of life than we are and I do not understand how anyone can support such a liberal gun policy, we are facing the deaths of many due to the current gun policy and it must of course be changed. Sofie Hansen (R) Spokesperson for Civil Liberties |
