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

      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?

    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.

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

    As long as the drones are fully autonomous but still use WiFi with the factory default password, it should be OK.

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

      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

        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.

    I predict this will end in complete success.

    We shall define “success” later.

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

      They will decide they don’t really want to do it after all. After millions has been given to various companies and contractors.

    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!

    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”?

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