This is scary and dumb with so many false positives. Every single instance the police were called, FBI notified, many red flags on social media yet everyone screams that THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP them. People/Police/Govt ignoring the data, while trying to push for gun control, gun confiscation etc. How about we enforce existing laws??? Murder is against the law, yet it still happens everyday. It's hard to figure out the root cause, but blaming an object is easier than trying to solve the bigger picture with mental health, social media etc. We dont blame cars when people are killed in an accident, we blame the driver. Emotional-knee jerk reactions that do not have a place in this discussion.</rant>

Cars have a purpose besides destruction. Guns don’t, and give individuals unproportionate power.

  Guns primary purpose in a civilian setting isn't destruction it's intimidation.

    That's interesting. In that case we should make it much harder and really expensive to get ammo. When facing a gun, you can't be sure it's not loaded, but the number of shots fired especially without specific intended targets will drop drastically.

    1. That is your unthoughtful opinion not a fact. The intended purpose of a gun is destruction. That is a fact. 2. Did you notice you had to change the parameters? I was talking about the general purpose, but you didn’t like what I said and you couldn’t contradict it. So you changed the argument, but that failed too.

No country on the planet has these problems to the extent the USA has. Dont be a muppet. The only thing scary and dumb is your own myopic stupidity.
