Though it is regrettable, war and violence are still rife within the colonies. You all know how cut-throat frontier life can be, I would wager you have all been victims of violence at some point in your lives.
Children are our hope for the future, our legacy. As such would it not be negligent of us to ignore the danger? Would it not be prudent of us to prepare them? Would they not be more likely to survive with training to deal with violence?
We believe that every person has a right to effective self-defence as well as means to face their enemies. That is why we believe that the education system should be altered to include combat exercises and schools to include firing ranges. Guns for Children is a campaign aimed at giving our young a fighting chance at life in Sirius. We would like to see the legal age for responsibility lowered to twelve years, allowing children the same choices we have as adults.
If approved, we believe that every major educational facility across Kusari could be training adequate combatants within the next four years. Of course this would require a relaxation of side-arm restrictions on New Tokyo .
So we implore you: vote "Yes" on proposition forty nine and "No" on proposition eighteen, make the right choice for a safer Kusari.
