[Wealth Daily logo] Technology, Not Legislation, Will Stop the Next Mass Shooting [Alex Koyfman Photo] By [Alex Koyfman]( Written May. 24, 2018 Dear Reader, We all knew it was going to happen at some point. Last week, it did: another massacre in another American school. But there was a difference this time around, and it's a difference that illustrates just how futile, misguided, and downright counterproductive any plan to ban firearms, whether selective or general, will be as we move forward. The infamous AR-15 and its numerous clones, which have been the go-to weapons for raging psychopaths bent on inflicting as much carnage in as little time as possible, was not the weapon of choice in last week's shooting in Santa Fe, Texas. This time the killer, 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis, used a shotgun and a revolver — both weapons his father owned legally and kept at home. Here's how the choice of weapons has complicated the discussion that so many on the left feel is painfully simple. The shotgun, which, by all accounts (it's still early in the investigation) was the primary murder weapon, isn't the “military style” semi-automatic rifle over which gun-grabbers foam at the mouth. It's a weapon that is legal and accessible across the world, including in most European countries, where firearm murder rates are a mere drop in the bucket compared to ours. A weapon designed for hunting but available in a wide variety of formats, it's been around, essentially unchanged, for well over a century. U.S. Government Restricts Advertising of Controversial Strategy Born before 1969? There is a controversial way you can invest and earn up to $11,334 per MONTH. The Des Moines Register says it's "shrouded in secrecy." The government restricts its advertising. But 351 politicians (like Nixon and Gore) used this strategy to get filthy rich.

Load it with the right ammunition, and it can kill a grizzly bear with a single shot — something a typical AR-15 cannot do on anything close to a consistent basis. The technical aspects of it are irrelevant. What is relevant is that no proposed gun ban would have touched this type of firearm. Even Joe Biden, the outspoken critic of loose gun regulations, owns one. Even if we were to achieve the impossible and remove every semi-automatic “military style” handgun and rifle from our streets and our homes, last week's shooting would not have been affected. To me, and to most reasonable humans with a grasp of the problem, that means one thing: bans will not be the miracle cure many are preaching they will be. The problem we're facing goes far deeper than the presence of readily available firearms. It goes down to the very root of our cultural psychology. Curing the problem of psychopath teenagers is a national concern and will likely never be achieved with any degree of totality. Providing a safer environment for school students, as well as security in all public places, however, is within reach. Thinking Outside the Box One of the main proposals I've seen floating around is arming teachers. This has been met with expected outrage, again from the left, because the idea of a teacher with a holster on his or her belt doesn't mesh well with the image of an idyllic learning environment. Ignore the fact that we routinely go into banks, government buildings, and jewelry stores with armed guards out front without so much as batting an eye. But despite the irrational fears of having adequately trained educators providing a final level of deterrent against would-be killers, there is, of course, always a chance that something can go wrong. An innocent bystander can, and probably will, at some point, get shot — which will immediately put into question the practice, if it ever comes into being in the first place. A real solution has to be transformative... and that's what I wanted to talk about today. What if we had a technology that could essentially wrap every campus, every hospital, every airport, every hotel, and every public outdoor space in an invisible protective bubble? What if we had a technology that would allow unarmed individuals to enter and exit buildings and areas freely, completely oblivious to the fact that they're inside of a protected zone, but immediately alert authorities if and when an individual with a weapon enters the perimeter? There would be no lines, no metal detection gates, no pat-downs, and no interactions with armed officers — until the moment when an unauthorized weapon crosses the threshold. Ending Gun Violence While Keeping the Second Amendment Intact Imagine a technology that could stop mass shootings without a shot being fired... What was once science fiction is now real: An artificial intelligence-powered screening device that can scan entire crowds in seconds. It can tell the difference between something like a pocket of coins and something dangerous, like a gun, bomb, or knife, without alerting the subject being scanned. It almost never makes mistakes. And with every scan, it grows smarter and smarter and smarter... This technology will change the face of security across the globe. And the company behind it will soon be a household brand. [Find out how the company did it — right here.]( Artificial Intelligence Prevails Where Organic Intelligence Fails It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but this technology is already in existence today. Called cognitive microwave radar, these high-tech scanning units can be hidden in walls, ceilings, and floors, and when networked, they can cover areas of almost unlimited size. Powered by highly refined artificial intelligence algorithms, these scanners are also smart enough to tell the difference between a watch, a pocket full of quarters, a gun, a knife, and even an explosive device — something the Santa Fe shooter also brought along. After years of testing and learning, these machines are now so well calibrated that they can even tell the difference between various brands and types of firearms, all based on the molecular composition of the weapon. And when these detectors find something they don't like, the response is instant and unambiguous. Some have referred to this as a “brilliant metal detector,” but it goes much farther than that. This is a weapons-detection technology, which is sensitive to metals and non-metals. Just imagine what this could mean to society as a whole. Invisible Universal Public Safety Not only will security lines — like the kind we've all encountered at the airport — become a thing of the past, but the level of security itself will advance by an order of magnitude. No more guesswork. No more waiting. No more stressing. That's the solution we need today. So next time you hear a politician trying to drum up popularity by calling law-abiding gun owners terrorists, just know there is an alternative that goes beyond useless rhetoric. The company that invented this technology is on the very cusp of becoming one of the most important firms in the public security sphere. There simply is no competition anywhere. Few people outside of the defense/security industry are even aware of its existence, but interest is building, and chances are, in the next year or two, we're going to start seeing the first mass installation across the country. Once that comes to pass, our world will change for the better, and it won't take a gun ban or a revision of the Second Amendment to make it happen.
