| Message | We disagree with this legislation. It would effectively disarm the police relative to criminals, who will always find access to prohibited weapons. |

| Message | People have a right to own guns in this country and your first step is to disarm the police? Personally, the first step is to disarm the citizens but still I can not support that bill. I agreed entirely with the JUP and cannot support this bill. |
