Issue Bias.

1. take guns away 2. take guns away hard 3. ban video games

These are just silly.

If this is going to be a decent simulation more options than these are needed.

I'm not a right wing nut job but I also don't see a firearm and think its going to jump off the table and shoot my children either.

I'd rather not start the gun debate here, but let me just say that there is room for a 4th option. And I seriously hope that there will be other gun control issues, once I dismiss this loaded question.



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 Gregory Trax. "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 Jack Utopia. "The government should ban all guns outright--even in the police force. This is an opportunity to make Innomen a totally gun-free state."
[Accept]

3. "Guns don't kill people, people kill people," says NRA head honcho Hack Li. "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]

I'm sure I've seen at least one issue out there that has some pro-gun choices. I agree with you on that issue being biased, but maybe the pro-gun one will balance it out.

I always found that issue one sided too. There are a couple more like that (one sided) but that was the most. I dismiss it now too. I used to pick the third one but I think that increases law&order and decreases civil rights.

I think the OP jinxed me! I got that issue for several of my nations!
