Gunman Kills Three
The Issue
Tragedy struck Kaeshar today, as a gunman killed three people in a suburban shooting rampage. The community is united in grief, but divided in opinion as to what should be done.
The Debate
The strongest voices demand tighter gun controls. "The only way to prevent further atrocities is to take the guns out of the hands of the murderers," says anti-gun campaigner Ryan Tan. "There's no justification for them in today's society. We need tighter regulations on who can hold guns, so only our police and military have them."
(I probably wouldn't regulate quite this tightly, but then again, being an American, I'm probably biased (no, I don't own guns). Still, regulation seems to be the way to go.
"That's not all we need," says radical left-wing activist Aaron Broadside. "The government should ban all guns outright--even in the police force. This is an opportunity to make Kaeshar a totally gun-free state."
(And then when the criminals get guns, what are you going to do, knife them?)
"Guns don't kill people, people kill people," says NRA head honcho Lars al-Zahawi. "If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. Is that what we want? Think, people. The answer isn't to ban guns. It's to crack down on those Hollywood movies and computer games that glamorize violence. They're the real criminals."
(The first bit is a good point, but still, NRA combined with Zahawi? *flails a radioactive cross at Zahawi*)
