| Message | You want to turn our streets into a shooting range? |
| Date | 16:06:57, November 28, 2016 CET | From | National Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Gun Rights Act |
| Message | Gun control limits the ability of lawful citizens to own a gun. You want to restrict the inherent right of the common man or woman to be able to purchase a gun freely and with no regulations? |
| Date | 16:51:26, November 28, 2016 CET | From | The Solentian Workers' Movement | To | Debating the Gun Rights Act |
| Message | You want to put your the safety of the average person in jeopardy? This isn't about libertarianism, this is about safety in the community. |
| Date | 17:04:29, November 28, 2016 CET | From | National Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Gun Rights Act |
| Message | Guns would make people safer. This IS about libertarianism. It's giving the people the right to own guns freely and with no restrictions. |
| Date | 18:45:23, November 28, 2016 CET | From | Social-Democratic Party | To | Debating the Gun Rights Act |
| Message | Tell me, where does this "inherent' and 'god given' righ come from and where has it been written down? Otherwise, it would be complete nonsense. |
| Date | 19:27:03, November 28, 2016 CET | From | National Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Gun Rights Act |
| Message | It hasn't been written down. It is the right of anyone to purchase a weapon for lawful purposes without restrictions. To argue otherwise would be in essence arguing against citizen's rights. |
| Date | 19:35:09, November 28, 2016 CET | From | Social-Democratic Party | To | Debating the Gun Rights Act |
| Message | i do not see its connection to civil rights. Aren't people much safer without guns all around them? |
| Date | 19:56:23, November 28, 2016 CET | From | National Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Gun Rights Act |
| Message | This isn't a question of safety. It's a question of individual rights. |
| Date | 22:22:24, November 28, 2016 CET | From | Social-Democratic Party | To | Debating the Gun Rights Act |
| Message | You want to let everybody have a gun with no regulations, and you dare to say that that is not a safety question? Tell me, do you have any idea how dangerous our cities will become if this bill passes? |
| Date | 22:26:59, November 28, 2016 CET | From | National Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Gun Rights Act |
| Message | I think that you underestimate the instincts and mental abilities of our people. They aren't dumb and they will know how to be lawful and responsible. Will some unfortunate accidents occur? Yes, but this is the price of freedom. Accidents will occur, and no amount of gun control will ever fix them. By essentially getting rid of gun control, we entrust the people with this special right, and ask that they don't abuse it. You can always attempt to repeal these measures, but that would be impossible given the state of political affairs in Solentia. |
| Date | 22:44:33, November 28, 2016 CET | From | Social-Democratic Party | To | Debating the Gun Rights Act |
| Message | Not everybody is good with guns you know |
| Date | 22:49:00, November 28, 2016 CET | From | National Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Gun Rights Act |
| Message | I agree. The vast majority of this population is smart, lawful, and in favor of this proposal. We are not doing this only because of our libertarian ideology, but that is was apart of our platform and the voters of Solentia chose to elect us. |
