[title] Gunning For You
[description] During a police raid in @@CAPITAL@@ earlier this week, several firearms primarily made up of 3D printed components were discovered.

You have opted to sit down in your office with a group of people with differing opinions on the subject.

"These 3D printed guns pose a major threat to our officers and the general public, what with thugs and reprobates making them in the privacy of their own homes. The solution is clear: ban 3D printers like we banned firearms. It's the only way we're going to have safer streets."

"These 3D printed guns pose a major threat to our officers and the general public, what with thugs and reprobates making them in the privacy of their own homes. The solution is clear: require the registration of 3D printers, and mandate the insertion of a traceable signature into every strand of filament used to print out objects. It's the only way we're going to have safer streets."

[option] "We already banned guns, and clearly that hasn't done a thing," counters noted criminologist and libertarian thinker Mary Gauser. "Why would it be any different with these 3D files? It's clear to me that these measures for the most part only hurt law-abiding citizens. What we should be doing is permit civilian firearms ownership again, and at least give the populace the means to defend themselves against those who would wish to do them harm."

"Why would it be any different with these 3D printer files? It's clear to me that these measures for the most part only hurt law-abiding citizens. What we should be doing is loosen the existing laws around civilian firearms ownership, and make it easier for the populace to defend themselves against those who would wish to do them harm."
