SQUEAKYREAPER'S PROFILE

Here's a sample I thought of.

Allow the player to map four actions to four keys (or something of the sort). Have battles play out like very slow paced Street Fighter; you can tell when you're being stunned, or whatever, and use the move you can to get out of it.

A one sided version of this is Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume. Here's a video.



It might be hard to abstract out of that, but what's going on is each character has a set of moves equipped. When their button is pressed, they use it. This allows for some interesting combos. See if you can make that in a one v one situation.

What about the 22 children stabbed at an elementary school in China?

As noted earlier, none of those children died. While people do die in the knife attacks that go on in China, it's a lower fatality rate than assaults with guns.

Not terribly convinced about the arms race thing, whether it's forward or backwards. While poisons and explosions have been used before, they're certainly not convenient enough to use, even less so in crimes of passion type things. I have a hard time seeing people suicide truck bombing a school, for what that's worth.

Here's a question: What sort of control, prevention methods, affordable therapeutic services, nuclear satellites, whatever, could have stopped this particular attack?

Demi is gonna shank someone, spear style.

Seeing as part of the gun control argument is that guns allow people to kill more people, bringing up the number of fatalities is relevant. Doesn't mean one person murdered is less significant than ten, just that one person murdered is numerically fewer murders than ten.
