| Message | We would be grateful to the KPL if they could remove the Article on not allowing the military to help with serious emergencies, because we oppose that Article but very strongly support the rest. Lucian Petrescu Chairman of the Hosian Democratic Union |
| Date | 00:01:50, October 22, 2016 CET | From | Partidul Social Democrat | To | Debating the Military Restrictions Bill |
| Message | We will provisionally remove it but would like some explanation as to why the Union feel this way? After all, we believe this presents a clear opportunity for the military to abuse the system and institute a police state. Nic Stefan Chair of the Committee Kizenian Partidul Lucrătorilor |
| Date | 01:42:54, October 22, 2016 CET | From | Partidul Poporului Noului Endralon | To | Debating the Military Restrictions Bill |
| Message | The powers the military has have served us well. Nearly a century ago we fought a war with the evil that resides in Trigunia. Without the landmines, rights and weapons we would have lost that war. The military, my ministery and the government strongly oppose this bill Jakab George Lakatos Minister of Defence |

| Message | While the partial nationalization of arms manufacturing is a step towards the omnipotent equilibrist state, the other articles would put limits on the power of the state and are therefor steps away from Equilibrium. |
