Message | Banning the defense industry in general just made this way too much for me. "Quick! The Deltarians are attacking!" "But we haven't been able to make tanks and aircraft for years, let alone guns..." Generally, my stance on gun control is this: Robbers can probably get guns in the black market - any legislation trying to restrict gun usage is probably only going to hurt those who would need it the most to defend themselves. |

Random fact: When your party holds the foreign affairs department, you can create new treaties. However, before writing anything new, it is a good idea to search for existing treaties which already accomplish what you desire. |
