With the immense rift in endralonion politics I am sure there is distrust on both sides , it even saddens me to admit that both camps contain voices who would call out against democracy the people should always be on equal grounds with the state as to means of defence should any future power try to demolish democracy in this country the people must be able to rise up against such threats . Please support me in returning the right to the possession of arms to our citizens. |
