    Anything to get rid of gun violence, as long as you don’t get rid of guns.

    Because that is much more efficient than just simply having GUN CONTROL! Why not give every school an APV AND TANKS?!

    source
  • Alenalda@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Why address the underlying issues when we can sell weapons to all sides? The only things we make where in America are weapons and fossil fuels. There’s money to be made!

    How long until someone hacks a drone and uses it to commit a school shooting?

    source
    • Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      How long until someone creates a plausibly convincing fake of these drones and uses them to perform a false flag or massacre with no chance of culpability?

        Oh I guess that would be easier

      Or some situation arises where innocent students are the target

        “You see, your kids died, but at least it was only your kids, and not anyone else. They probably would have died from the shooting anyways lmao”

    The number of guns will be increased again to handle the problems caused by the increased number of guns.

      The shootings will continue until morale improves

      If only there were some easily identifiable common denominator…

    Yeah this will go swimmingly. Especially if you’re the supplier of drones to the schools.

    These will be purchased, sit in a cabinet and never be charged or maintained. When they are “needed”, no one will know how to operate them or what they can do.

    This is a waste of money from the hit git go.

      They just need more school shootings, so these things get proper use.

      I give it 6 months before some kid asks ChatGPT to help him hijack these drones instead of bringing a gun of his own. He’ll murder his classmates with irony.

  • fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    How does one even come up with this idea?

    How do we keep kids safe when something happens in a school?

    Wait wair, first. How do we keep us safe when something happens in a school?

      Same reason the UK has the Online Safety Act: People who don’t know shit about fuck being convinced by people who do know shit about fuck but want to make money from them being sold a big shiny solution that they are convinced will work.

      See, Florida is in america and you wouldn’t believe who the big brain behind that shitshow is.

    The only thing to prevent school shooting seems to be more guns, AND more automated guns. Somehow.

    source
    • Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It’s not guns that are the problem, it’s bullets, just ban selling bullets, let everyone keep there guns, problem will sort itself in a year or 2

    Can the armed drone open classroom doors better than Uvalde police officers?

        They just needed to be properly motivated. Here, have a doughnut, a klan robe, red hat, and a pinup of Sarah Palin. Place them under a box trap and wait.

    We’ll find out how successful the system is soon enough.

    Yikes.

    How can you read a proposal like this and not immediately go "Nope. That's it. We went too far. We lost. Let's circle back and start this entire society again from scratch"?

    And when one of these Drones KILLS INNOCENT CHILDREN we can get Drones for our Drones to Protect our Kids from our Drones we Put in Their SCHOOLS!

    I predict this will end in complete success.

    We shall define “success” later.

      Can’t be any school shootings if there isn’t either school or children in them. Success.

      They will decide they don’t really want to do it after all. After millions has been given to various companies and contractors.

        Sounds like a definition of success to me.

    What a shithole country.

    As long as the drones are fully autonomous but still use WiFi with the factory default password, it should be OK.

      Don’t forget, that the password is written on the bottom, so its visible when they fly above you

    Fucking stupidest idea I ever seen.

    The US has more guns than its total population. Real GUN CONTROL is needed.

    The best solution to prevent school shootings is to have a good social network.

    Once it stops just 1 school shooter then all schools will have them.

    It would be great for law enforcement to use as a non-lethal use. If they use tranquilizer darts for people with a knife and mental unstable.
