| Message | We are very strongly in support of this Bill. Luthori needs a professional police force. A civilian police force needs a different set of expertise to a military force. |

| Message | This bill cannot be allowed to pass without an article to remove the military grade weapons from the police, otherwise the result will be masses of military grade on the streets in untrained hands. A hardened veteren from the crusades will not open fire on rioting crowds, even when bombarded with petrol bombs and bricks. The same cannot be said of a civilian whose just been handed an automatic grendade launcher! Please understand that I fully support the aim behind this bill - but the consequences in its current form are catastrophic. |

| Message | Thank you for explaining your reasoning, Unionist Party. I guess this won't pass. Perhaps we will make a modified one in future. |
