| Message | Very simple indeed: the point is that police forces need to have more firepower than those shooting at them, if necessary, for the weapon regulation system is not foolproof, and a very determined person can merely ignore the law and get a weapon if he or she really wills to. Thus our demand. |

| Message | I disagree with you on this point, but will remove the article, in the interests of overall security and saftey. |
