*President takes sword and displays it to Sciongrad, calmy presenting it in a non-threatening manner.*
"This sword was made in Takistan, with Takistani materials, gathered and smelted by Takistani people, and sold to the army by Takistani entrepreneurs.
Your draft would disallow these weapons to continue being traded to our soldiers and our allies' soldiers alike.
These are our weapons, and we shall not surrender them to create a peace which does not benefit us, but rather hinder us."
