Can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this idea.

      The only way you’re going to get rid of billions of guns is if you have a magic genie or a monkey paw.

      If our country actually cared and was a force of good and peace, we would have a long-term plan for things like buyback as well as strict regulations and MAYBE in a hundred years we would be gun-free for the most part, but the guns are only half the problem.

      The problem is the lack of community and the atomization of our feelings and perspectives. People don’t shoot up schools when they feel loved, connected and unafraid of their future. When people have something to live for, they want to help each other see that future.

      That’s the rotten part, that’s where our country is dying. We drank too deep of the well of “rugged individualism” and now everyone is wandering around like it’s a video game and NPC’s don’t deserve second thought.

    Using school to practice your combat drone tech and funnel more tax payer money into the hands of the military complex. Very cool. /s

    “Let’s test the new firmware in the district with the most minorities.”

    You know it will happen. Maybe they’ll phrase it differently but the decision will be made.

    I don’t see this going wrong at all. Do you know how long a drone battery lasts? Do you trust AI to pick out the right kids to shoot?

    Wtf timeline am I in?

    Oh no, now the shooters have drones!

    Stole it from the school.

    Having attended school this hypothetical is entirely 100% plausible. More children will be killed by these drones then they end up protecting.

      With how they’re also ramping up Christian crap in schools, I imagine them putting little wings and halos, and having kids pray for the drones.

    Wait until the bullied nerd learns to hack that system and sends the armed drones to exterminate the jocks.

      That could never happen. The manufacturer assured parents their proprietary software is unhackable.
