| Message | We oppose this as it restricts the freedom of law abiding citizens to excercize their natural right. The right to bear arms is a critical value in our society and we should be careful with it. Also, firearms are often used by our agricultural population. And they don't need any more harm done to them. - Liao Fang (廖芳) |
