Can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this idea.
anything but the actual, common sense, solution
They don’t do common sense over there.
Which is what? Details please. Your solution must be legal and practical. Go.
EDIT: As I figured. Angry children will no real policy ideas, no real laws to be enacted, totally ignorant of how Constitutional amendments work.
I want REAL fucking ideas, real HELP!
Lemmy: “no you”
If you’re not adult enough to comment, refrain.
get some of the guns off the streets; particularly automatics and semi autos. those didn’t exist for maybe the first quarter to half of the history of the country. feels like every other civilized country seems not to have these problems like we do.
Trump has shown us that we can, in fact, send federal agents to enforce laws (and then some) without so much as a whimper. So the solution is obviously to confiscate the guns.
yea not one second amendment andy is doing shit against tyrannical government lol
Not. Fucking. One.
All these “Don’t step on snek” motherfuckers are awfully quiet lately. Almost like its the same group of people 🤔
I’m loud as fuck around here. Tell me what to do with my guns. Chapter and verse, spell it out. I’ll fucking wait while you compose your answer. Meanwhile, I’ll order more ammo. Thanks for reminding me! About out of .22LR and .45! Going to practice some more at camp tomorrow. (Like I’m not already practiced, but whatever, practice makes perfect.)

I do not think it is a real problem.
Oh, America.
You must enact this plan without running afoul of the 2nd Amendment. It exists and courts have upheld it to mean a personal right to gun ownership.
Doesn’t matter if you like it. Doesn’t matter if I like it. The 2nd Amendment is a fact. The court rulings are a fact.
So? Got a realistic plan?
A new constitution. Your government doesn’t give a shit about it, so make a new one.
That involves first shooting the 2nd amendment folk so you still need to have guns though?
Wow Americans love violence so much you can literally not think of another way, huh?
You are a child, or ignorant of history, if you don’t see how this all goes down. Yes, mass violence is coming. Give it a few years, not happening tomorrow or next year, but once Trump’s lawlessness and economy hits bottom, people will fucking riot.
We’re not a year in and troops are on the streets of 3 major cities. The administration is tightening the noose while Trump descends deeper and deeper into dementia. Did you see the Secretary of War and the President address 800 combat generals and admirals yesterday? Called in from all over the planet? Did you hear the words spoken?!
Again to history, the planet is tuning up for WWIII. Study WWII history. I did two years of AP European History, I get it, I see it, violence is coming.
I’m not American.
There are tens of millions of rabid Trump supporters with guns. They are not willing to compromise on any single issue and if you disagree with the emperor, that’s treason.
How exactly are you going to win their hearts and minds while being a wanted terrorist (which you will be declared as, since being against fascism is now officially terrorism)?
Your god king has already ignored the constitution countless times in the past 9 months. The second amendment means nothing, all thanks to him.
We, uh, kinda know all that. Preaching to the choir?
So anyway, how about answering the question as to how me and my guns navigate this situation?
You know, it could be changed. It won’t, because you weaklings love guns more than children’s lives. But it could.
Please, do tell us what you know on changing a constitutional amendment. Spell it out, with details. What must happen?
trump and by proxy his supporters, cherry pick laws (much like many religious folk do with their biblical teachings) and those who enforce them, openly muses and acts on disobeying long standing, precedented law. congress and the supreme court have abdicated any semblance of independence to the culture cult. for example: trump is trying to end birthright citizenship.
all those second amendment defenders cry foul of any changes to it in the name of protection from tyrannical government, yet tyrannical government is here and no one bats an eye.
history is repeating itself, especially when you’re following nazi playbooks. How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Dayshttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/01/hitler-germany-constitution-authoritarianism/681233/
there is absolutely nothing normal about what’s going on and yet trigger fingers stand idly by as rome burns
Tell me what you would have me do with my guns. I can arm the entire block, if they weren’t already. Young and old, white and black, middle class and poor, gun in every house, and usually several. I know because I know my neighbors.
What exactly should the little old black lady across the street do with her pistols? Name it. SPEAK OUT.
I have one life to defend my legal, brown, immigrant wife. And I have two small children I will leave without a father.
Whatever you tell me to do, it better fucking count for something. I am listening and more than ready. Go.
Let more children die. That’s legal and practical.
Otherwise you’d have to have legislators do their jobs and make laws.
Congress can’t make a law that overturns a Constitutional amendment. Doesn’t matter if I like it. Doesn’t matter if you like it. The 2A exists and the courts have upheld it to mean the right to personal gun ownership. You can pick away at it, with minimal success, but what are you actually doing?
Let more children die.
The “high score” for school shootings was Virginia Tech. Dude got the vast majority of his kills with a .22 pistol. Were you aiming to ban those? Or were you aiming for AR-15s, which account for <2% of all gun deaths? If you’re not talking about banning pistols, you’ve kinda failed right out the gate. Funny how no one talks that talk. What exactly is your policy and how do you aim to enforce it? I’m listening, because I also want this to end.
If you want to trash the 2A, I’m listening, but first you have to tell me you understand what it takes to change the Constitution and how you aim to accomplish that. Easy, right? Go.
So. Again. Practical and legal? Spell it out.
I can’t imagine that anything will go wrong. /s
Ah, sniper drones. Like the ones Israel has been using to shoot children in the head.
Tried and tested on Palestinian children, now ready for the open market.
Link?
Mostly I’ve heard about this from interviews with international volunteer doctors in Gaza

That one kid with a flipper zero: hold my juice box
It is so much worse than that
What happens when they can’t figure out who compromised the device?
Yep, these definitely won’t get hacked
Damn, even school shooters get to work from home now.
Betting there’s a contest for it at Defcon 2026
Why get your hands bloody assaulting a school yourself, when you can get a job at the drone control centre and mow down a bunch of kids from two cities away?
Wait until the bullied nerd learns to hack that system and sends the armed drones to exterminate the jocks.
That could never happen. The manufacturer assured parents their proprietary software is unhackable.
I’m trying to imagine something like this getting installed in my old school in the UK, and it’s so bizarre and totally removed from my reality growing up that I can’t even picture it.
The whole concept of a robot armed with a lethal weapon just sitting there in my classroom each and every day, waiting for someone in a remote control centre to decide that someone in the room should be killed? I think that would traumatize me a little even if there never was an attack.
I don’t think it’s a location thing, it’s an intelligence thing - I’m in Florida and it doesn’t make any more sense to me
Often we see people being demonised and dehumanized for political purposes. Americans basically dehumanize themselves.
As a parent I can’t think of anything much more traumatic than losing a child to a gun massacre. It makes me furious. Watching Americans passively do nothing about this for decades has gone from infuriating to blame. I can’t relate to them anymore.
I didn’t make them sub-human by questioning their race or religion or politics. They made themselves sub-human by ignoring the most basic moral and ethical requirements of human society and family. Watching them kill each other won’t bring me joy but it doesn’t outrage me as much as watching people in war torn countries being massacred in conflicts over which they had no control.
This was a choice from a weak broken society.
ED-209: CITIZEN, DROP THE WEAPON. YOU HAVE 20 SECONDS TO COMPLY.
Random Kid: B…b… But I don’t even have a weapon!
ED-209: YOU NOW HAVE 10 SECONDS TO COMPLY. 9. 8. 7…
Random Kid: W…w… We were just shooting spit balls! It’s just a straw, please!
ED-209: WEAPON CONFIRMED, ARMING RAIL GUN.
kid reduced to fine red mist
ED-209: TARGET NEUTRALIZED. STATE IF PARENTS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED THROUGH TEXT.
no response
ED-209: VERY WELL, ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR SCHOOL DAY.
drone flies off
I read the title and came here to post the same thing.
Anything besides sensible gun control.
I don’t see this going wrong at all. Do you know how long a drone battery lasts? Do you trust AI to pick out the right kids to shoot?
Wtf timeline am I in?
This is so much better than passing common sense gun laws.
“Our drones can create a distraction.” Yeah, from gun control.
Oh no, now the shooters have drones!
Stole it from the school.
Having attended school this hypothetical is entirely 100% plausible. More children will be killed by these drones then they end up protecting.
Hacked drones…
Now you can do a school shooting from the comfort of your own home!
It’s on. Shooters will now respond with armed drones.
government to use air strikes to prevent drone powered school shootings
