All guns should be retrofitted with the biometric checks. That black powder musket must how have a $200 electronic device bolted to it or else you're a mass-murderer. Trying to let a friend use a gun? Nuh uh, you must transfer the gun at an FFL so your friend gets background checked, mental health history checked, political affiliations checked, and a credit check. When he returns it, you must transfer it back to yourself to make sure you didn't become a criminal within that 30 minute period or develop a nervous tick or become an alcoholic.

Anything short of that and you want to murder children.

I'd rather have food pills that the future promised 60 years ago.

Ahahaha, no. All you have to do is call the citizen a terrorist, then it's Bombs Away No Holds Barred No Due Process Federal Detention Camp Fun Hour.

In the era of ubiquitous data mining, all those situations are knowable, and a display or speaker will be able to specially craft the exact phrase you want to hear, but aren't consciously aware of what you want to hear.

The extra paid is a finders fee to meeting other similarly buzzed people, and perhaps some of them would want to have sex with you before your night is over.

Looks like you'll have to chat up the robot maintenance guy instead.

If the dash cams prove anything, the footage will always be "missing" in those events, or abuses will happen in the dead-zones that, of course, the corrupt officers will know of and tell each other about.

So get crackin', ye of thin skin.
