| Message | Anti air missiles and granades against street thug? Useless and dangerous. |

| Message | Yeah thats a senisble statement from the NL MP's, of course, the police are all idiots and won't know what do in what situation. Obviously the police aren't going to nuke a city in order to stop drug dealing. |

| Message | Quite the opposite..i have SO much faith in our police, that i dont think they need extravagant weapons to deal with criminals. |

| Message | Then your an idiot. So how does a policemen with a baton (or should they not be allowed those weapons either?) deal with armed drug dealers? With armed bank robbers? With armed smugglers? How does one go about disarming a criminal intent on killing? |

| Message | You silly Sønner av den Vølsungs ! "standard firearms", by our definition, include handguns, light smg, and pointy sticks The NL Tough Love Division also just prototyped a new kind of cannabis-based smoke granade... Why we should need better weapons? |
| Date | 19:44:58, January 31, 2006 CET | From | Konservativ Monarkistpartiet | To | Debating the Power to the Police |
| Message | But what about other circumstances? A handgun may not be that useful in a shootout with a gang, what about police marksmen protecting dignatories? And we sincerely hope that the NL isn't infiltrating the police force. |
| Date | 21:37:27, January 31, 2006 CET | From | Northern Light | To | Debating the Power to the Police |
| Message | Our analysis indicates that the current standard weapons are enough. That's all. Also, NL isnt infiltrating the police force...of course without a cabinet, the police is under the just and moderate control of our Statschief Daumas. |
| Date | 21:43:32, January 31, 2006 CET | From | Konservativ Monarkistpartiet | To | Debating the Power to the Police |
| Message | We would be happy to accept a compromise position whereby there is a special unit that is more heavily armed than the average police officer, but we still think it is criminally insane to create a position whereby gangs are more heavily armed than the police forces. |
| Date | 09:05:20, February 01, 2006 CET | From | KSP - Kazulia Socialdemokratisk Parti | To | Debating the Power to the Police |
| Message | It was our position since the debate. |
| Date | 14:38:24, February 01, 2006 CET | From | Konservativ Monarkistpartiet | To | Debating the Power to the Police |
| Message | Ja, and we supprt, we were disputing purely with the NL. |
| Date | 12:41:19, February 02, 2006 CET | From | Black Magic | To | Debating the Power to the Police |
| Message | I do not believe "military-grade equipment" refers to SAMs and grenades, although stun and smoke grenades are obvious components of tactical squad, as are sniper rifles and automatic weapons; which I believe is what "military-grade" is refering to. |
