YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.
All are tools that need a human behind them to make a choice in order to operate.
Dangerous tools need schooling and licenses to operate.
What about that would have chnaged the Buffalo shooting?
So does a forklift and that requires a certification!
what about that would have changed the Buffalo shooting?
I don’t know anything about it, I can’t say for sure. Probably the guy couldn’t get a gun, if I’d have to say.
You’re arguing that getting a license would somehow prevent this shooting? The kid bought the guns legally as it is. They were not illegally obtained. So getting a license is just one more hoop to jump through. It wouldn’t have stopped anything, IMO.
The thing about hoops is that they do prevent a lot of things.
Not all of them, but a lot.
“Ah, that’s too much to bother” is surprisingly a good deterrent.
