Message | We already can do such, because we have to approve each and every arms sale to another nation, meaning we have serial numbers exactly on every single Hutorian weapon that leaves the Democratic Republic. |
Date | 18:50:21, December 25, 2005 CET | From | Peoples Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Allied Arms Bill |
Message | Yes but this will make sure that only those that are allied with us gets them. |
Date | 21:13:56, December 25, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Allied Arms Bill |
Message | War is by necessity a machiavellian activity. In war it may be advantageous to sell arms to those who are not, at that time, our allies. Therefore to outlaw such sales is too restrictive. Against. |
Date | 23:46:53, December 25, 2005 CET | From | Peoples Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Allied Arms Bill |
Message | But to allow open sales to all nations may prove to be fatal, exspecially if are own weapons are used against us. |
Date | 21:10:45, December 26, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Allied Arms Bill |
Message | But with the law as it stands the government has the final say in all arms sales. Therefore the government makes the final call as to whether it is too risky or not. |

Message | True...but the safty can still be compramised, it not so bothersome if we just sell them to are allies. |
Date | 21:08:18, January 01, 2006 CET | From | Global Democracy Movement Party | To | Debating the Allied Arms Bill |
Message | The word allies would lost all the meaning if we sold weapons to the enemy's of our allies, so i guess this bill makes sense, by the other way i understand the position of the Libertarian Party, but i donīt agree that the decision should be from the government, the decision should be from the parliement. |
