ANYTHING to avoid sensible gun control eh? Just throw more guns at the problem!

[–] Magnum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 17 hours ago

This is a joke right?

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

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

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

anything but the actual solution. like we had automatics and semi autos back when in the start of the country

[–] shirro@aussie.zone 9 points 1 day ago

Americans are dumb cunts.

[–] Alenalda@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day 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!

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago

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

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 4 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 98 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 45 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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?

Or some situation arises where innocent students are the target

[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"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"

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or when they start using the drones as truancy officers as a cost cutting measure …

[–] Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

"Truancy is at an all time low" report various government instances. Oddly enough child sized coffins sales at an all time high, experts call it an "odd coincidence" more at 5.

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

[–] BeanGoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The shootings will continue until morale improves

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

The shootings will continue until ~~morale~~ the shootings improve~~s~~

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago

Florida once again forgets that Black Mirror is a cautionary tale.

[–] Red_October@piefed.world 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Soon they will reveal their latest invention, the Torment Nexus, from the hit Sci Fi novel, Don't Create the Torment Nexus.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

They've been working really hard on their project based on the series Don't create the Handmaid's Tale.

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You know, as someone who like the looks and the mechanical side of guns, I find that idea interesting. It would not be practical, I guess, bullets are probably easier to pass under the table than guns, but eh.

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A dead fish can open doors better than Uvalde police officers.

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"?

[–] mogranja@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

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

Yikes.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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!

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

You are now moderator of the Drone Marketing Association sub.

[–] turdburglar@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

the only way to stop a bad drone with a gun is….

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 days ago

What a shithole country.

Me watching T2 as a kid: this will never happen.
Me now: oh

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I predict this will end in complete success.

We shall define "success" later.

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?

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 10 points 2 days ago

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

I'm starting to feel like I'm living the prequel to Cyberpunk 2077...

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 13 points 2 days ago

You better start believing in cyberpunk dystopias, Miss Turner. You're in one!

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Brother, I'm already living in night city.

As a teacher, my first question to admin would be "so what do we do when a group of 15 year old boys get it and start flying it around the neighborhood"?

[–] darreninthenet@piefed.social 14 points 2 days ago

What could possibly go wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️

[–] ViscloReader@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How??? Like who in their right mind would greenlight this?

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.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Fucking stupidest idea I ever seen.

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