Hopefully this issue won't interfere with an existing one, although I also hope it won't be too... out-of-the-ordinary for nations in general.
Note: This is not necessarily something like SCP and in fact could just be a crazy cat sanctuary with rumors surrounding it, or even a scam like option three suggests.
Simply put, it's up to your imagination on how to interpret it.
Name: No Lock, No Gun Stock, and No Smoking Barrels
The Debate: An emergency meeting has been called after a colonel, checking the inventory at Ft. @@ANIMAL@@, @@NAME@@'s largest military armory, found only a broken musket and a giant hole in the wall that wasn't there earlier. There is a strong suspicion that this heist could be linked to certain groups that have been raising a stink over @@NAME@@'s gun ban.
Validity: nation bans guns from the general public, nation has a strong military, nation's military can use guns
[option]General @@RANDOMLASTNAME@@, the head of the breached facility, shows to you a large schematic that appears to be a dense mass of incomprehensible sketches. "What we really need is to have more funding for security. We simply can not allow our weapons to be stolen, let alone potentially sold to the rebellious public. We need better facilities, and our facilities need their own facilities. Sure, it'll be expensive, but it'll be worth it."
[effect]pistols are more secure than the national treasury
[option]@@RANDOMNAME@@, your Minister of Law and Order, draws a large, red X across the schematic. "I don't like to spoil your plans, but this kind of thing doesn't exactly happen very often, so we should really focus on capturing the crooks who broke into our base. If we really want to get to the root of the problem, we should boost our national law enforcement to investigate and arrest anyone who has guns."
[effect]pillows and dinner meals are regularly investigated for concealed arms
[option]"You know, @@LEADER@@, this wouldn't be a problem if guns were given back to the public," comments the colonel who found the weapons were missing, while turning the schematic into a ball and tossing it aside. "If our populace is armed, then we'd have less incentive to have our weapons stolen - although, admittedly, some people may still want the really cool or dangerous guns, so we should still keep those under lockdown, but at least allow some guns. This way we solve this problem as well as get a populace that can protect itself. It's win-win, if you ask me!"
[effect]banned objects are regularly legalized if they've been robbed
[option]"You've got it all backwards!" interjects @@RANDOMNAME@@, a stranger who seems to be dressed like a fencer, who decided to drop into the conversation. "These things were banned from the public for a reason - they are dangerous! Instead, what we should do is extend the present ban to the military - if they have a real problem, they can just use swords, like this one." @@HE@@ then stabs the crumpled schematic with a rapier.
[effect]wars are filled with soldiers wielding machetes and chainsaws for safety reasons
So, give me your thoughts on this, and I'll modify this to the community's preferences - or scrap it if need be.
Edit: I have redone the issue to be less vague and take place in a more realistic setting. Yes, the SCP references are now gone,
but the idea of a containment breach and the options to deal with it should hopefully be similar enough.
Edit idk what number this is now but it's an important one: Ok so now this is a gun issue, with a different name,
and a whole other option. Again, many thanks to Ramsium for his suggestions!
