| Message | We oppose all articles on the grounds of it completely being in opposition to our party's principles. The intentions of this bill may be good, however the actual effects when put into practice would contradict those intentions. |

| Message | Freedom fighters around the world depend on our strong arms industry to provide cheap and effective weapons to fight tyranny globally and the evil regimes will get those weapons regardless. All we are doing is disarming the little guy. |

| Message | The evil regimes will get our weapons only if we export them freely or have an evil regime ourselves. This won't disarm the little guy, this actually means the little guy can have more. The big guy who oppresses his people will be hurt by this. We will pay atention to every arms sales and approve it on the basis that is for good causes and to freedom fighters and governments who defend the interests of their people.
