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

            “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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

        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.

    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!
