Shackles [IntChk]

It was done with the best of intentions...

After all that had happened, it was one man, acting alone, that brought about the reform known as the Firearms Ban of 2013. Onlookers watched, frozen, as Preston Ferrell, a middle-aged accountant, shot and killed four protesters who showed up to picket the memorial service for a tragedy that had shaken the nation. Two more of the protesters were gravely injured, and one died of complications on the way to the hospital. By the time the police got to him, Ferrell had relinquished his firearm and surrendered. No assistance was offered by the crowd, to the police or the protesters, not even one phone call. All they offered was silence as Ferrell was taken away.

Federal legislation hit, and it hit hard. Widespread support drowned out even those who cried out for their rights under the Second Amendment. Even the states that tried to resist soon collapsed under the will of the anti-gun lobby. Those who had once thought of themselves as protectors found themselves liable to be labeled criminals. Those who were already criminals found themselves in a brand new land of opportunity... without armed citizens to worry about, they only had the police to worry about.

The police themselves simply found themselves drowning in extra work... though for better or worse, they would soon find that they had some help...

I realize that the issue is a sensitive one, and I'm not trying to make light of the situations or anything... I just thought it'd be an interesting setting to explore. The premise is basically that you'll be playing as a vigilante who's trying to make the world a better place, one dead criminal at a time. I've got the OOC thread in the works, so if you're interested, just say so and I'll send you a link when I get it up and running.

I'm looking for about four people, may include more if I'm feeling good about it.

Thanks for your interest!

Intrigued. Can you give me more of a plot line?

I'm currently finishing up my world building, but here's the gist: You'll be playing a vigilante who's trying to derive order from the chaos that's arisen from the recent firearms prohibition, even going as far as to hunt down other vigilantes. There'll be an assortment of small-time gangs to whoop while we start getting everything set up, then I plan on having larger organizations move in. There's more detail in the OOC, I should have it up either today or tomorrow, depending on how much work I'm able to get in.

Tentative interest shown. I'd like to see the OOC before I fully commit, but I'll say it sounds interesting. I didn't think you were making light of any situations either for the record, this seems like a genuinely interesting reality to explore.
