    Anything to get rid of gun violence, as long as you don’t get rid of guns.

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

    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!

      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.

            “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.

    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.
