| Message | How does constant police presence at all times, day or night, ensure the "rights of man"? Or enforced curfews? Sure, it may only be used "in times of emergency", but who is to specify what counts as an emergency? |
| Date | 21:52:30, August 14, 2016 CET | From | Endeavor Party of Likatonia | To | Debating the Rights of Man Petition |
| Message | Well, there are two kinds of freedom: freedom from and freedom to. Increasing the powers of the police and the government in times of emergency creates freedom from crime and crisis. Increasing the legality of gun ownership increases freedom from government tyranny and grants freedom to protect yourself. |
