| Message | The Nihilist Fascist Collegiality will continue to stand by its comrade in this time. Military grade equipment for the military only makes sense. The Communist parties see heavily arming the military as a threat, as if somehow an establishment like Germany's Gestapo originates overnight. Keep in mind that we are working with something that has been founded many aeons ago, not creating a new menace. |

| Message | Of course it makes sense to have military grade equipment for the military, but this bill proposes to introduce military grade equipment for the POLICE. We see no reason why police officers would need to carry rocket launchers or drive in tanks... |

| Message | yup the police are there to deal with civillian crime , in extreme cases (such as raiding very organised gang strongholds) there are means to utilise better armed forces to remain on even grounds with the criminals but in day to day police work basic side arms suffice. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
