Who knows maybe this will bring about some positive policy changes?

Policy change: only people with a net value of $500M can own guns

Ironically, the NRA will applaud the decision.

Not really, no. Terrifying poor people into buying more guns than they can afford, let alone need, is most of the NRA business model.

Problem: Confiscating guns from an armed population.

If the rich get nervous, more mass surveillance, more ai people tracking and more law enforcement backdoors into corporate software.

I don't see this as a bad thing. School shootings are old news, but people think that guy's assassination was just.

Perhaps the CEOs of the world will take note that the masses react positively to them being assassinated. Whether or not that'll be enough to cause any systemic change, though, is a different question...

Eh, they do report on the school shootings though?

Positive policy changes? Like turning the ATF into a line of convenience stores?

So that they can process forms 1 and forms 4 faster, right? Because everything is electronic now, and there's no reason that it should take between a month and a year and a half to process the paperwork for getting a short barrel rifle or a silencer.
