I can get behind this. I always though VR was a gimmick but I got an oculus ~2016 and was honestly blown away. However, the #1 thing that turns me off to VR is that it's uncomfortable. That's ok though as long as the experience

Seems all this would do is to convince these killers to use cars... which have proven more than capable of killing just as many people as a gun.

I honestly agree with you on all of those points. Those are very good things to have. At the end of the day though, people _are_ weighing the pros and cons and deciding to leave. Perhaps it’s not the right conclusion but it’s not like peo
