Stormtrack

I am tired of dealing with issues that try to be cute, or extreme. Most issues aren't really relevant to how I see my nation growing, and even those that are presented that might be relevant don't offer the option that I would select as the autocratic ruler who has the final say.
This issue, for example:
Tragedy struck Stormtrack 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
1. 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 Klaus King. "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."
[Accept]
2. "That's not all we need," says radical left-wing activist Bill Clinton. "The government should ban all guns outright--even in the police force. This is an opportunity to make Stormtrack a totally gun-free state."
[Accept]
3. "Guns don't kill people, people kill people," says NRA head honcho Steffan Barry. "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."
[Accept]
There isn't a single option for actual treatment of the criminal or the crime, just another issue (one of several recently), dealing with guns. My country has little crime or even jails because I have an iron fist. So I dismiss. I dismissed all 5 issues, even though I felt I would like to deal with some of them as they related to my country, because there were no options relevant to my country.
If I dismiss something, I just don't want all the things I dismiss impacting my country because I couldn't make it apply in the first place.
