Mister Savic;

This is the relevant part of the Law of Liberty that deals with your request.

------------[color=#CCFFFF]----------------------- SECTION TWO : LICENSURE ----------------------------------

I. Licensing.

There are no licensing procedures as yet for actions such as arms dealing (legal currently) and the transportation of nomad material (illegal currently).

You will be probably be contacted if the above changes in the future, which it may or may not do. Additionally, please ensure that those who purchase your equipment are directed to us if required by the Sirius Codex.

The only armament that we would ask you not to stock, in addition to any listed as prohibited weaponry elsewhere in the law that you may think of stocking in the future, is the Magma Hammer Turret Mk V. This is because this weapon is manufactured solely on secure installations inside restricted space.

One more thing;

I can guarantee my merchandise would not be sold to any shady contacts or would be used against their suppliers.

I am personally curious as to how you would guarantee your merchandise not falling into the hands of anyone on the more notorious side of the law. Please disclose the means by which you intend to enforce your guarantee and by extension why your guarantee should be trusted.

At present, due to supply constraints imposed on us by the war effort, the BAF operates under a policy of requiring specific licenses for each individual wishing to use BAF weaponary or other equipment. Unfortunately this means that we cannot allow the free sale of our weaponary on the open market as this would allow individuals to purchase Bretonian tachyon and particle cannons from your stores without having first been vetted and approved by ourselves. Given firstly the shortage of such weapons and secondly the risk that, being sold in a House beyond Bretonia's control we would be unable to ensure they were only distrubuted to suitable people, we are sadly forced to deny your request for sales license of Bretonian weaponary.

You will be notified should the Ministry of Defence instruct us to alter these policies in the near future.

Begin message:


My apologies for the delayed response. The Kusari Naval Forces and the Kusari State Police have been dealing with higher priorities as of late; we only just got to the issue of your message recently.

I speak for the KNF and the KSP when I deny your request to distribute our weapons. Simply put, anyone who wishes to buy our equipment can do it legitimately, and come to us to do so. We would rather keep a closer eye on the matter of who's hands our technology is in.

Thank you for understanding.
