| Message | Infringment of libertarian rights. Have you seen the crime rate -- citizen need to defend themselves. If the police force is having difficulty now in enforcing the laws we have how much more will it be if we add this one. Gun control laws never work to stop CRIMINAL violence. |

| Message | They do if enforced correctly. Zero tolerance and higher penalities. OCC: For example, Project Exile: http://www.vahv.org/Exile/Richmond/ProjExRch.html http://www.nrawinningteam.com/hestexil.html |

| Message | At issue however is the fact that we don't have that option in this particular case -- how things will be enforced depends greatly on the justice department. Which this bill does not address. |

| Message | Gun laws don't affect criminals! Only honest citizens! Ban the criminals, not the Guns we shoot them with! |
| Date | 04:14:00, January 01, 2006 CET | From | LiberalDemocraticFreedomTaxAndSpendParty | To | Debating the Gun Control |
| Message | You are a criminal if you shoot them; unless it was in self-defence. |
| Date | 17:58:53, January 01, 2006 CET | From | Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Gun Control |
| Message | Agreed with the proposals although we will (if the player gets her internet sorted out) as usual campaign for the removal of fire arms from the general populace who have no need for such weapons. Moreover the crime rate is directly linked to the ownership of aforementioned firearms, this was proven when this country outlawed aforementioned firearms and the crime rate declined. |
