gollark: Interesting, why?
gollark: ↑ see above
gollark: Again, you seem to just be assuming personhood here.
gollark: I disagree with saying "someone" for non-people entities.
gollark: There are various problems with this:- massive increase of complexity in guns- you would need to recharge it constantly, and it would need batteries and such, and would generally be a hassle- GPS spoofing (possibly just jamming, depending on design) would stop guns working- people could probably just remove the geofencing bit- how are you planning to keep the "do not shoot here" lists updated on all of them?
