The Only Thing That Can Stop A Bad Guy With a Gun...

[DonDadda59]

Is a good Robot with a bomb.

Fact.

Since the founding fathers created the second amendment to make sure Americans could have well-maintained militias to fight against the monarchies of Europe... It has been the conventional wisdom that the only thing that can stop a bad guy with gun is a good guy with a gun.

Every time a psycho with an assault rifle mowed down unarmed people in a movie theater, or school, or night club you'd hear the same thing time and time again- if only there were bullets flying the other direction, problem solved.

The Dallas incident turned that narrative on its head. One bad guy with a guy specifically targeted police officers- good guys with guns. He shot about a dozen of them, killing 5 while engaging in a gun battle with others and holding the city in a siege. The good guns with guns, an entire army of them, were completely powerless against one lone bad guy with a gun.

It was only when the best of the good guys, artificial intelligence, entered the fray was the bad guy finally vanquished.


Washington (AFP) - The "bomb robot" killing of a suspected Dallas shooter may be the first lethal use of an automated device by American police, and underscores the growing role of technology in law enforcement.

City police chief David Brown told reporters Friday that officials "saw no other option but to use our bomb robot" to detonate to avoid any further danger after sniper fire killed five Dallas officers.

Brown said police used an "extension" of the robot "for it to detonate where the suspect was."

"Yes, this is 1st use of robot in this way in policing," said a tweet from New America Foundation fellow Peter Singer, who heads a technology advisory firm and has written on 21st century warfare.

Singer noted that one device known as the MARCbot "has been ad hoc used this way by troops in Iraq."

Many people have called into question the legality and/or morality of the police employing robots to blow people up. But I'm more concerned that the military has already tested out this method overseas. If we, the free people of the United States, are to be able to adequately fight against not only bad guys with guns but now also potentially tyrannical governments using robot bombs... Isn't it only right that we all have access to the same technology?

It's clear now that the only thing that can assuredly stop a bad guy with a gun and tyranny is a robot with a bomb...

Go ahead and stick your head in the sand. But if robots can bomb bad guys with guns... How long until they start muscling into the bumper sticker racket?

Then will you care? :confusedshrug:

This isn't a response to your original post but this whole Dallas shooter-robot bomb portrayal is fake.

[poido123]

I'm not a fan of this technology.

Same goes for the sound weapons that have been arranged for violent protests.


I mean, how much power do you want to place in government?

Explain please

there's definitely some things to like about the real robocop.

unlike micro-drones and other stealth weapon technology that can be used in unlawful ways by almost anyone in the future, and unlike all the typical ways in which police can abuse their power, robocop seems to me far more difficult to abuse.

robocop has tonnes of built in oversight and specific / limited objectives. he takes pressure off the police, which reduces their stress, and is not someone that violent folks can get too riled up over.

OTOH i'm sure lots of people will be concerned about being in thrall to our new robot overlords. there's only so much john connor can do, after all...

I'm fine with people having guns for home protection. I have a Glock 21 and a Shotgun myself. However, these people who have arsenals of Assault Rifles, and claim they're for protection against the government, are completely delusional. Anyone who thinks they're going to fight the U.S. Military with a gun is a fool.

The problem with this technology is, the wrong people can get their hands on it.

I've read that government want robot military to fight wars with these cyborgs or robot bombs, but once you step over that line, do you really want to have terrorists mass produce these things to kill everyone?

did you know they have a helpful category for people like you on reddit, called ELI5 (https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive)?

dude, we are already fighting wars with robots, they are called drones. terrorists are 3rd world country imbeciles, they do not know how to create modern technology. they may buy it, but proper intelligence is required to utilize it to its potential, which terrorists do not have the capacity to do so. that is essentially why muslim extremism exists, they know and feel they are being exterminated by technology, left in the past, so groups like ISIS is a last hoorrah before they are deemed useless to the history of mankind and ridden in the world by natural selection.

Don's too much of a p*ssy to pick up a real gun. :lol

Coming from the guy who is too much of a p*ssy to post a pic of his brown ass on an anonymous forum.

Until you grow a pair, this is how I will imagine you look:

No they don't. Assault rifles are illegal.
