Austrur bans guns, draws praise from allies in New Bradfordsburg
Sharon Kalash, of Parting Ways, cries upon learning news that Austrur's government has banned guns in Austrus.
PARTING WAYS – Eleven-year old Kelsey Kalash stood at the entrance of this sea-side city’s lone Unitarian Universalist church Tuesday, tears dripping down her face and clutching a balloon printed with her brother’s name.
Kelsey’s brother, Tyler, was one of 36 Unitarians gunned down exactly one-year ago, inside First Parish Parting Ways, in New Bradfordsburg, by bullets from the AK-47 of a deranged man from Dennisport. Since then, New Bradfordsburg has banned guns, only allowing them for use at sporting ranges.
Many nations, however, have not.
As Kelsey stood in remembrance of her brother in Parting Ways, Kelsey’s mother, Sharon, cried on the front steps of Austur’s national assembly as news was announced that Austrur had become the latest nation to ban guns Tuesday night. Overwhelmed with the emotion of her son's legacy, and the joy of the new legislation, Kalash spoke.
“It’s times like this that make me think my son didn’t die in vain,” Sharon Kalash told the Randovia Times in Austrus Tuesday. “I can’t even begin to describe the feeling, it is very emotional for me right now.”
The recent gun debate in Austrur has divided much of the country, with a large segment of the population claiming that a confiscation of their weapons equals a confiscation of their freedom.
However, numbers from Austrur’s public safety bureau show a different story.
“We had a murder problem in our biggest city, so we grabbed it by the horn and got rid of the guns,” Austrur Public Safety spokesman Jennifer Akahan said. “More people were dying in Austrus because of unruly citizens with guns than being saved because of good citizens with guns.
Akahan said the decision to endorse gun-banning legislation “was easy” for her department.
“In Austrur, we all knew somebody who had been killed by guns,” Akahan said. “We started asking ourselves, ‘why is this happening?’”
Liberal groups, who have been pressing for reform with Austrur’s conservative rulership, were also happy with the decision.
“This is a moment of true victory,” a statement from Austrurian Liberals said. “It is a victory for the people’s right to live and it is and a victory for public safety. People have a right to live their lives without fear of being shot for the simple misdeed of offending a stranger.”
Further west, in New Bradfordsburg, Dux Bradford John praised the recent move by Austrur and called it “a step forward in regional security.”
“A region that will be safe for all Dux Milaners will be a region where vigilante justice is not rule over law,” the Dux said. "I call on more nations in Dux Milan to consider banning dangerous weapons for the sake of security and safety."
