| Message | Again, we are faced with the decision of whether or not we should disarm Kalistani citizens, this time, however, our comrades on the other side of the aisle wish to take the weapons of people the government deems to be mentally ill or violent. Again, we oppose. |

| Message | What possible reason could someone who is mentally ill or who has a history of being a violent criminal have for owning a gun? This is about protecting our citizens. |
| Date | 16:41:31, October 09, 2019 CET | From | United Kalistani Worker’s Front | To | Debating the Firearm Restriction Act |
| Message | But who makes that distinction? |
| Date | 20:32:54, October 09, 2019 CET | From | People's Liberation Front of Kalistan | To | Debating the Firearm Restriction Act |
| Message | For those with mental illness, doctors make that distinction. For violent criminals, there own crimes and the sentences we give them make that distinction. These aren't made up categories, this is a commonsense reform. |
