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.

Recess.

And cheaper! /s

government to use air strikes to prevent drone powered school shootings

The one where five white dudes who hoarded all the money control everything.

Ah AI only has trouble with minority skin colors so it's not really a problem. /s

Hacked drones...

They don't do common sense over there.

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

It is so much worse than that

What happens when they can't figure out who compromised the device?

I was in a high school that received this active shooter campus wide recognition system. It included a few physical security systems to help autonomously alert if there were gun shots fired somewhere. One of the systems was these green lights inside the normal flourecent lights. They would turn red or flash or something as a visual alert. But the green light cast this weird green glow everywhere in the school and to me it was this eerie constant reminder of the threat. I was only a visitor for a special program for a few days, but even this was a little traumatizing for me. The drone would be terrifying.

Damn, even school shooters get to work from home now.

You jest, but remember that the Dept of Education has been EO'd almost out of existence, currently run by Vince McMahon's wife who is a staunch supporter of "school choice" and charter schools. These are the easiest way to re-segregate schools, put the curriculum back in the hands of moneyed interests, and defund public education.

The trend will be that public schools will have all the kids who are economically disadvantaged, disaffected, badly taught, and unable to be helped by teachers and faculty who are underpaid, understaffed, and hobbled by bad policy, the more school shootings will become a problem that doesn't affect a certain segment of society. Any parents who can, will pull their kids from failing public schools and pay more to have their kids attend other schools, or even homeschool. The fewer kids the public schools have, the more budget cuts will be authorised.

All public schools will ultimately be shuttered, under this plan. School shootings will keep happening of course, but once it only affects rich white kids, it will finally be taken seriously, at least.
