    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.

      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.

    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

    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!

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

    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”?

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

      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

        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.

      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.
