| Message | Yeah, we also think that the mentally ill should have their right to have their rights restricted protected. |

| Message | Are you saying it is the right of someone who cannot make conscious decisions to shoot himself without actually wanting to do so? Is this the way the Capitalist Coalition wants to keep health and social services affordable? No, it is in the best interest of the mentally-ill and it is necessary in order to protect their rights that they are not allowed to freely own guns. Some reasonably justifiable restrictions are necessary, whether you like it or not, EVERYONE in the medical sector knows this, and you are going to deny this? And it's very ironic that this comes from a party that thinks it's the "inalienable right" of all Rutanian citizens to die for their country. And it is the right of all Rutanian citizens to not be threatened by a dangerous criminal with a weapon. |

| Message | I'm surprised that the Conservative Party would vote in support of the lawlessness. |
| Date | 23:02:15, January 04, 2006 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Public Safety Act 2165 |
| Message | How can it be lawlessness if its not against the law? |
| Date | 20:22:22, January 05, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian Alcoholic Party II | To | Debating the Public Safety Act 2165 |
| Message | Kudos to the conservatives. Go lawlessness! |

| Message | I almost voted in favour of this. Good thing I changed just in time. |
| Date | 21:31:04, January 05, 2006 CET | From | Radical Freedom Party | To | Debating the Public Safety Act 2165 |
| Message | Yeah. Imagine that violent criminals would no longer be allowed to bear arms! The horror! |
| Date | 11:31:45, January 06, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Public Safety Act 2165 |
| Message | The mentally ill are one of the most stigmatised sections of society and most likely to be attacked or abused. If anyone needs a gun to defend themselves - it's them! |
