The Issue

Tragedy struck The Grand Triad 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 Pip Utopia. "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 Chastity Utopia. "The government should ban all guns outright--even in the police force. This is an opportunity to make The Grand Triad a totally gun-free state."
[Accept]

3. "Guns don't kill people, people kill people," says NRA head honcho Beth Wu. "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]

The Government Position

The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.

"Our finest tribute to our fallen dead would be to convince their sons that we were not Rambo and neither are they. -Gus Hasford
