| Date | 17:54:03, January 12, 2022 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Gun Control Act |
| Message | The NCP will not tolerate the disarmament of private citizens and militias. |
| Date | 21:33:08, January 12, 2022 CET | From | Folksparty | To | Debating the Gun Control Act |
| Message | This is an act to not restrict militias, but private citizens. Also, the act does not aim to disarm anyone, but rather enforce public safety so a person could not walk in the open with military-grade weaponry. |
| Date | 21:35:03, January 12, 2022 CET | From | Folksparty | To | Debating the Gun Control Act |
| Message | The Folksparty is definitely not against gun ownership, but we believe that certain restrictions are to be set for safety concerns. |
| Date | 23:56:26, January 12, 2022 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the Gun Control Act |
| Message | Open carry is the law in Kalistan, if a person is carrying a weapon it is assumed they are in the militia. And as guns are fairly prevalent in Kalistan, the sight of one is not as shocking as it is in more timid countries like Lourenne. Therefore we will concur with the NCP and oppose further restriction on firearms possession. |
