Are Taser drones the answer to America's gun violence problem? (dronedj.com)

Considering that every other country in the world does fine without employing taser drones, I think there are better solutions

"Every other country". Might want to re-word that.


Intentional homicide != gun violence


Indeed, but we should almost certainly care more about total homicide than gun violence (which is 2/3rds suicide, 1/3rd gun homicide).


Yea we should, but the topic at hand is children being slaughtered in schools with assault rifles


I would like to incorporate John Stewart's idea. [1]

To think that the company's own ethics board voted against the proposal to equip drones with Tasers, but the CEO is going ahead nonetheless. Blows my mind!


Hmm. I wonder how easy it would be to take over those devices?

Would it be our robot overlords doing it?


An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.


I f*cking hope not lmao
