| Message | I'm against this. The sad truth is that a police officer needs a gun. Otherwise what's he going to do? "Stop!! Or I'll say stop again!!!" |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Police Bill |
| Message | Strangely enough, some police forces aren't armed! *shock* |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Police Bill |
| Message | "non-lethal" weapons kill people too, a couple months ago an innocent bystander was killed by one in my area, and they wont do much if it is a serious crime, by a criminal organization like the mafia that can equip people |

| Message | I'm aware of that, but they kill less people than bullets do. In cases where the police face armed attack, other forces can be deployed such as happens in Ireland. |

| Message | well, deploying the military on your own soil is not a good thing, ever, and many times has bad consequences |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Police Bill |
| Message | I was talking more in terms of the ERU (Emergency Responce Unit) in Ireland. Just take the UK for example as it has a similar population to Endralonm the police aren't armed but can call on armed back-up if needed. |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Police Bill |
| Message | and the UK has a higher crime rate than america, at least violent crimes |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Police Bill |
| Message | Well, depends on how the crimes and such are defined really. Some are, some aren't. |
| Date | not recorded | From | Communist Party of Endralon | To | Debating the Police Bill |
| Message | We wish the Natural Law Party had actually read our nation's laws before proposing this bill. Now any citizen can own more powerful weapons than the police is allowed to carry! I have proposed an Adequate Law Enforcement Act to redress the situation. |
