There are two end of the spectrum: * behaving better, potentially with the consequence that profits would be reduced * getting more security guards, keep lobbying for laws to silence stories that could make them look bad, and keep lobbying against laws that would prevent them from doing the bad things I have strong guesses about what the majority of them will take. But, who knows, maybe polymarket knows better ?

  Oh my God, i has forgotten about that black mirror episode. Strange we don't see more civilian attack drones, they'll only get easier to make

    > Oh my God, i has forgotten about that black mirror episode. Strange we don't see more civilian attack drones, they'll only get easier to make. It's probably because killing someone with a gun is far more represented in the media. Guns are a product that can be purchased off the shelf. Also civilian kamikaze drones would probably be easy to jam and on top of that require a lot more technical skill to pull off. You'd have to build a bomb and some kind of fuze, and it'd be a lot more expensive to practice and test it out to the point where it would be likely to work (v.s. a gun where you can buy a bunch of bullets for probably a fraction of the cost of a single unmodified drone).

      Drone + gun + trigger widget?

        > Drone + gun + trigger widget? I feel that would work at all because the aim would be terrible.

        Hope you're right, because this seems like hobbyist level to refine in this setting.

Remember that NRA used to lobby to add restrictions to open carry and gun ownership before placing your bet. Also, in the US, AP rounds and suppressors were banned before DIAS for AR were, so...
