The New Weddington Isles is opposed to firearms and replica firearms (including nerf guns, gel blasters etc) in all their forms. This is because:
1) we believe ideologically that any micronation subscribing to gun ownership is falling into the politics of oppression and conflict as seen in too many macro national entities
2) talk of warfare and weapons arsenals is more in the realms of fantasy in the micronational world, and demonstrates a lack of serious intent.
To that end, and to bring the Prime Consul's policy in line with the laws of its hosts; (the Australian Capital Territory), Lord Watitune met with members of the ACT Police Firearms Registry today and formally handed over a replica pistol gel blaster under a current amnesty.
The Isles look forward to a period of diplomacy and peaceful interaction whilst we work towards to establishment of our nation on the unclaimed former Royal Companys Islands in the South Indian Ocean, when our policy will be reviewed.
