| Message | We refer also to you that US is one of the first country for the rate killed by firearms/population. Not all the liberties are right, IOHO. |

| Message | ooc: actually its not the first, get your facts right, gun crime is far more prevalent in Brazil and South Africa than the US.. So why is it you think abortion is a good liberty to have, but having the ability to defend yourself is a bad liberty? |

| Message | Because...you know..the two things have nothing in common? Look at the dictionary. |

| Message | er, abortion kills babies, and you propose that guns are bad, because they kill. So killing doesn't have the same meaning? Interesting. |

| Message | Anyway, I'm not sure why a self-professed candidate for dictator would mind a few people dying, eh? Oh, you only want the police to do the killing? hmmm |

| Message | The opening statementin the description makes no sense. You are only going to get shot as a nazi spy if you break into the old mans home, which surely is fair? |
| Date | 00:59:24, February 05, 2006 CET | From | Northern Light | To | Debating the Weapon Control Act |
| Message | If you knew my neighbors, you wouldn't say that... |

| Message | "We don't feel the need to be shot sixteen times by a old man who belives we are some kind of nazi spy..." None of our supporters feel that they are likely to be mistaken for a Nazi spy . . . |
| Date | 07:00:53, February 05, 2006 CET | From | Black Magic | To | Debating the Weapon Control Act |
| Message | And yes, IF article 1 is true THEN article 2 is redundant. |
| Date | 19:58:12, February 05, 2006 CET | From | Northern Light | To | Debating the Weapon Control Act |
| Message | Why? Only some people can use weapons, and the types of weapons they can use is restricted. |
