I’m sure that was the same logic they had pre-Columbine

  Walk me through how the Columbine shooters demonstrated technical proficiency?

    That’s not what I’m talking about, I’m saying the logic was “something like columbine will never happen because …” like ok, famous last words. Technical proficiency is your contribution here and I just disagree with it. It’s not like drones are (a) hard to fly, (b) expensive or (c) access restricted. Kids my age at 13 were making backshed napalm out of pure fascination. And also I’m pretty sure the columbine kids were trying to build a bomb, so there’s your technical proficiency request. Like I said buddy, I hope I’m wrong.

      Drone are indeed (a), (b), and to some degree (c), to the extent that if you're proficient with them you currently have employment opportunities in developed economies. It's the capability vs financially beneficial alternatives that matters. Links on the Columbine kids building a bomb? Given how easy it is to make a pipe bomb, I feel failure there would cut in favor of my argument re: Columbine.

    They built then planted bombs in the cafeteria and parking lot. Thankfully the bombs didn't go off as expected. One of them was even into mapping Doom (1993). There have been shootings at universities by students there. So not all poor and desperate and indoctrinated.
