5 Possible Ways We’ll Avoid Gun-Related Massacres in the Future
Whether it’s ‘wireheading’ or eliminating poverty, something needs to be done about mass shootings
Over the course of 72 hours, the United States has been struck with multiple cases of gun-related violence that has led to many deaths. It started with the Saugus High School shooting in Santa Clarita, California, which led to two deaths. A couple days later, in Fresno, CA, two gunmen started “shooting at a backyard family gathering over the weekend that left four people dead and six injured.”
And if that weren’t enough, less than 24 hours later, another gunman killed 3 people at a Walmart parking lot in Duncan, Oklahoma. And it could’ve been much worse as witnessed in the El Paso Walmart shooting back in August, resulting in 22 people being killed.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be an end to this dark and fatal tunnel that we’re stuck in. Even as gun reform legislation continues picking up support, the future could very well put a dampener to such legislation with the introduction of highly efficient 3D-printed guns. Mind you, there are still easier and less expensive ways of creating guns that don’t involve a 3D printer, but like any technology, as time passes by, efficiency will increase and cost will decline.
