| Message | I wouldn't trust a butter knife to the 80% of the people i know, so i suppose i'm pretty scared at the low-IQ of any population. So, no way. |

| Message | If they have a low IQ, then they would be mentally retarded so wouldn't be able to purchase a gun. |

| Message | No. We think that guns are too dangerous: also if they are given to "good" citizens, they can shoot. |

| Message | Guns aren't dangerous, only the people with them may be dangerous, and as criminals or the mentally retarded (like the NL leaders son) won't be allowed them. Obviously if you have a gun you can shoot, that was kind of a idiotic statement to make. |

| Message | We had suffered in past time children that used the parents guns and killed persons. This is why we say not. |
