| Message | So we want our police to start acting like thugs? Crime is so severe because of your own gun control laws, that prevent citizens from protecting themselves. A criminal is not going to rob a target he thinks is armed. Those citizens will have to rely on the police, which then causes the police to become overburdened. |

| Message | Also, didn't you just say in the other bill that the rich provinces have less crime than the poor ones? Either they all have high crime or they don't. Which is it? |

| Message | Furthermore, I don't see what extradition has to do with it. How does extraditing criminals who commit crimes in OUR nation to other nations solve anything? |
