This story was on local television here in Fort Worth last night. What is you guys take on this?
...the sensors, which would be placed on buildings and light poles, are expensive. They cost up to $250,000 for every square mile covered, but can narrow the origin of gunfire to within 30 feet.
ok yeah good idea lets spend 250,000 dollars per square mile in DALLAS TEXAS!!! one of the nations largest cities on a unit that has reportedly done nothing in the places it has been installed. I can think of better things to do with that money and i have never even been to Dallas.
I tend to dislike anything that sounds like Orwell, but a system like this could be helpful in documenting cases of lawful self-defense. Due to the cost of the system, it probably would not be deployed anywhere besides the ghetto. However, what is often the case in bad neighborhoods is that neither the victim nor the attacker is really legally allowed to carry a firearm, and they may both be less than reputable people. When the cops show up, they may be choosing between two thugs to determine who was the attacker and who acted in self-defense.
Now, obviously many people are going to be less than sympathetic to a victim who they feel has been less than virtuous - "Let them kill each other", and so on. The reality though is that self-defense is a basic human right and even felons have to defend themselves if threatened with a gun.
I live in Gary, Indiana and we have already had these devices for several years. It's called ShotSpotter. It works, but it does not seem to have done anything to bring down the murder rate in the city that has had the nation's highest per capita murder rate for 12 of the past 13 years.
It's just feel good, false security rhetoric that they feed to the sheep(pl) that believes them .Do politicians stay up all night on these great idea moments?...geeze!
Ummm...at what point did I say it's unnecessary to carry in any particular neighborhood?Whats a bad neighborhood ?
if you think any neighborhood in America is immune from crime and is a good neighborhood , then you don't need a weapon, you can just stay in those safe neighborhood and you'll never need to carry.
Even the "10 Safest City in America" has seen murders,
I wont link to sources of Crime in the Suburbs, because lurking antis may pick up the info and use against the Pro2A movement
Or maybe you can tell us where in the US we can live, where we don't have to "carry" ?
