| Message | Mr Speaker, Defence of the realm is our biggest duty. Retaliation could be too late, deterrant is best use. Frederick Stinson Deputy Leader of the Royalists |
| Date | 02:42:45, April 19, 2018 CET | From | Moralist Party | To | Debating the Self Defence Act 4380 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, If we use overuse our weapons, we are much more likely to have weapons used against us. We must be prepared to use this weaponry in the case of an attack, but it would be simply foolish to go out looking to spark a nuclear disaster. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, A deterrent does not work if we legislate to say we will not do anything unless attacked first. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The HDU will support this bill as we agree with Deputy Leader Stinson that under our current laws our deterrent is rendered null and void. Michael Field HDU Party Chairman |
| Date | 01:33:56, April 20, 2018 CET | From | Moralist Party | To | Debating the Self Defence Act 4380 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The deterrent prevents our enemies from attacking us in the first place, because it creates fear of how we will attack them if they attack us. If this policy was not in place, our enemies would feel much more threatened by us, which would make them much more likely to initiate an attack. Luke Schiltz Party Chairman, Moralist Party |
