Citizens are somehow shooting animals despite gun ban **SPOILER ALERT**

I chose option 2 in issue #20: Gunman Kills Three:
2. "That's not all we need," says radical left-wing activist @@RANDOMNAME@@. "The government should ban all guns outright--even in the police force. This is an opportunity to make @@NAME@@ a totally gun-free state."

The next day I picked option 4 for issue #133: When @@ANIMAL@@s attack!:
4. "Who cares!?" screams @@RANDOMNAME@@ as he sends out his pirate radio station broadcast. "Just repeal any laws preventing us from shooting the things when they attack and we'll be able to save ourselves without this stupid, authoritarian, overbearing government and legal system wasting our tax money!"

The next day my nation description said that guns were completely outlawed and followed that by saying citizens were regularly shooting maned monkeys for looking at them funny.

Could issue #133 could be edited to replace all instances of "shoot" with "kill" to fix this oddity?

There are things besides guns that shoot projectiles.

By choosing that option you've re-legalised guns, so there's no need for an edit.

Really don't understand how this is an 'oddity'.

repeal any laws

Why, does your nation have a law preventing it from repealing laws? :)

I believe the "oddity" they are referring to is that they banned guns and yet their citizens continue to shoot things.

Or they're shooting bows and arrows, or slingshots, neither of which are a gun and yet still shoot projectiles.
