Anything besides sensible gun control.

When they'll resort to deadly sky robots to "protect" children before they'll regulate who can have access to firearms...

At a demonstration of the drones at AcadeMir Preparatory High School in South Miami-Dade, the company showed how the drones are capable of using what the company calls “kinetic energy hits” to knock someone over.

I can’t even with this shit 😝

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is... An idiot with a drone?

Is the idea to stop a kid from killing their classmates by killing everyone before they get the chance?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Might be cheaper if you just gave each student a gun.

They walk to school, check all their bags for firearms (take any away that are brought in) ... then after the security check, they are given their own holstered small sidearm that they have to keep visually on them at all times during school hours. It has to stay visible to everyone at all times.

This reads like a MAGA wet dream.

Armed with pepper balls

"Once airborne, they offer two-way communication through an embedded speakerphone. They also can break glass, make loud noises, fire nonlethal pepper-spray pellets or take other action within a minute as a first response to an incident. "

I don't deal with children, is this sort of thing not a deal breaker for parents?

I've been predicting that terrorist (aka conservatives in the US) will start using them from long range soon. I'm surprised that this didn't start happening sooner but I guess people of that disposition aren't very clever so it's taken a whole lot longer to catch on.

And truancy!

So do the drones have like, an explosive charge on it to kill the shooters like we use in war right now?

If so why is that at a school?

If not then what do they think a drone is fucking gonna do?

Really, this is the US government terrorizing children and a corporation using them as test subjects disguised as a security measure.

Amen. Doesn't mean guns will immediately be illegal. It just won't be something you can obtain simply for living to a long enough point.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Then those coward pigs can finally do something while they're hiding. And probably make more victims

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

So instead of dealing with the actual problem... they're going to add to the problem. Wow. What a fucking liberty.

EDIT: I clearly didn't read the article. Not going to rewrite or delete what I said. Keeping my integrity. Thanks 👌

theres some gnarly drones. like explosive drones that travel in groups of hundreds. theres nothing you can do when a sea of drones come at you endlessly.
