It has come to this: Rather than recognize the latest rock bottom in their ongoing, deeply disturbing addiction to guns, Americans would prefer we send literal winged stun guns into elementary schools to tase active spree shooters instead of passing a modicum of legislative firearms reform. Yesterday, the CEO of the “nonlethal” weapons manufacturer, Axon, announced his intention to move forward with “Taser Drone Development to Address Mass Shootings.”
"Today, the only viable response to a mass shooter is another person with a gun," Axon founder and CEO Rick Smith declared. "In the aftermath of these events, we get stuck in fruitless debates. We need new and better solutions. For this reason, we have elected to... develop a remotely operated, non-lethal drone system that we believe will be a more effective, immediate, humane, and ethical option to protect innocent people."
