The fascist dystopia of watchmen allowed cops to be completely anonymous for their safety, but still restricted officers access to firearms. We've blown past the parody at this point.

It happens, we already preach safe storage and include gun locks. Exposure can make guns something that isn't as exciting, and safe handling lessons would save lives.

Teaching and exposure is the only thing that makes sense for things you expect children to find that can be dangerous. It's why Australian children are taught differently about spiders than other countries. Guns are going to be out there in the US.

The government has tried to eliminate poverty since the 60s there hasn't been meaningful gains in my lifetime despite increasing efforts.

Dino ranch isn't a bad choice either.

1. Target gangs holistically. Change drug laws to limit their income potential. Target all levels for prosecution rather than primarily the top.
2. Overhaul mental health laws. This is pretty hard to do. It needs to be easier to get someone committed against their will than it currently is, but it also needs to be possible to recover rights after being committed. The institutions that used to do this need to be recreated with better safeguards against abuse of patients.
3. Increase exposure to guns at pretty much every age. This is more about accidental shootings. Handling guns in a safe environment reduces the curiosity if kids find one, shooting classes age junior high or high school age would also help reinforce this.
4. Reduce gun free zones or require places that ban guns to accept security liability.
5. Enforce existing laws, a significant number of shootings have warnings that were ignored by negligent or apathetic administrators or police. Both taking actions that are generally available and legal now, and ensuring accountability for failures would help.

the primary argument that has been successful for John Deere against right to repair is that if they don't block it, then farmers will just bypass emissions controls. Bypassing is already a crime, but unlikely to ever be prosecuted.

Similarly the fact an AR15 could be illegally modified is not a reason to ban it.

The problem with train scheduling is that computers don't just make it better. There's a very real chance computers could make it worse or result in approximately the same outcome but not require millions in investment into a new system.

If you want a cleaning acid, barkeeper's friend or oxalic acid is generally great, but you do need to be more careful about what surfaces you use on. It will destroy nonstick coatings.

This same argument is used to kill right to repair. Banning potential crime is always bad.

Mad TV did a 20 blade razor which isn't even that ridiculous anymore.

Endless arguments about a new engine vs even more duct tape on the creation engine. Starfield was a tech demo of their latest updates.
