| Message | Madam Speaker, We believe that militia's (paramilitaries) provide an integral defense from tyranny both foreign and domestic and as such can not support this bill. |

| Message | Madam Speaker, The security of our fellow citizen's is an affair of the state - not private businesses. If we allow paramilitaries keep existing it can become a serious problem for the security of our citizens. Lucas Hentze President Party Leader Radical Alliance |

| Message | Madam Speaker, The RA Incorrectly assumes that militias are by necessity a company, this isn't necessarily the case as with militias here in Hutori they're generally private militias typically fund by the people and for the people. http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=416534 Charles Carmichael Party Leader Federalist Party |

| Message | Madam Speaker: Paramilitaries could neither be successful at waging war against a foreign nation, nor the Military of our own nation. However, they could pose a national security threat in the form of domestic terrorism. Therefore, we firmly demand that paramilitaries be prohibited. |

| Message | Madam Speaker, The DSP is extremely ill informed, militias can have a significant impact on the outcome of a war not to mention the fact that there are laws in place to prevent domestic terrorism within Hutori. Charles Carmichael Party Leader Federalist Party OOC: Where American Minutemen ineffective? How about the French Resistance? Not mention the fact that it could provide a useful deterrent from invasion. As Commander Yamamoto said about an invasion of the U.S. " You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." Having a well trained and well regulated militia could provide even further as a deterrent. |

| Message | OOC: American minutemen where fighting British soldiers with muskets. Nowadays, it would likely be rifles and make shift bombs against Drones. See my point? |
