| Message | Of course! We must restrict the rights of the people for the sake of our own sake! What if they don't like us? What if they start to revolt? What if they have an actual way to take down our government if they do not like how we operate? Heaven forbid! |

| Message | LBSC, your point is irrelevant. Revolts do not exist in this game (except in roleplay in the nation's history). Also, our country is supposed to be a fair and democratic republic. People can vote to make change. If people really wanted to revolt, they could easily obtain massive shipments of illegal arms. In the case of an open revolt, it is unlikely that they would care about whether their weapons were legal or not. This bill does not ban gun ownership. All it does is introduce a few additional regulations. As I stated, many crimes are committed by sane people with no violent criminal record. Our current legislation does not take this in to consideration. |
