In my country i have banned anyone from owning guns except the Police and Army (from the issue about a triple murderer). Now in this new issue the most anti-gun stance you can take is to have gun registration.

There is no option to keep the status quo of no guns for the public. Please look into this and fix it.

Guns? Who needs them? We use lasers.

That's why you have the ability to dismiss an issue without selecting any of the options. Use it wisely... 8)

The original gun issue had no option for allowing people to keep guns, so the new one isn't any more broken than the old (actually, it's less broken).

I think the original gun issue has someone from the NRA saying the usual defenses for everyone having guns ("If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns" etc.) who you can agree with. I haven't seen this new issue but if it doesn't let you outlaw guns whereas the other one had responses from both sides of the fence, how is this issue "less broken"?

That's odd. You shouldn't have even gotten this issue if you banned guns...

Does anyone know yet what the effects of this issue are?

i got this issue aswell, and ive also banned guns

"If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns" etc.

this reminds me of a poster one of my teachers has in his room

"If you outlaw puppets, then only outlaws will have puppets"

makes the whole statement seem kinda silly doesn't it. I have also outlawed guns, but I just dismissed the issue.

Hm. It appears that you're only exempt if you ban guns completely. If you let police have them, you can still get this issue. Seems a bit odd, but that's how they were written.

Anyway, this looks like the car re-legalization issue. All three assume that you want to change your current policy (ie: only police and army with guns). If you wish to maintain the status quo, dismiss.

I too would like to know, while its tempting to Arm everyone in my country...

I got this issue this morning, as the very next issue after I banned guns for all but police and military. That would have made an amusing line in my nation's description: "guns are banned, and gun ownership is compulsory." 8)

Naturally, I dismissed it... Why would I want to give everybody a gun after I just went to all the trouble of taking them all away? :wink:

The only "pro-gun" choice on the original issue was to ban violent TV shows and video games, which has little or nothing to do with gun control. It's rather like the subsidy choice on the original car issue, but with the other options representing only anti-gun choices.
