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

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

Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 26 Aug 14:36 next collapse

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

“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”

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.

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

salty_chief@lemmy.world on 26 Aug 15:25 next collapse

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.

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

Yikes.

I predict this will end in complete success.

We shall define “success” later.

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.

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

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

Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world on 26 Aug 23:49 collapse

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 on 27 Aug 19:38 collapse

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.

SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works on 26 Aug 22:58 next collapse

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 on 27 Aug 00:16 next collapse

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 on 27 Aug 10:50 collapse

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

PumpkinSkink@lemmy.world on 26 Aug 23:46 next collapse

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”?

This seems like a stupendously bad idea on its face. Haven’t they heard of Murphy’s Law?

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.

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.

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 on 27 Aug 11:20 next collapse

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