RE: World's first Virtual Reality Athlete introduction
Hello and welcome to Steemit @scievr ! Although we may disagree on whether guns kill people your VR fitness sounds fascinating! Looking forward to reading more, happy Steeming ✨
Thank you :) Yes, super bad timing mentioning that certain phrase in the post. Horrible stuff in Vegas, I had no bad intentions in any way, shape or form. VR can be utilized in numerous ways in firearms training, hopefully that will decrease the number of guns in the wrong hands in times to come, because less iron is needed.
I didn't think you'd said it with that in mind :) Personally, I just think it should be a hell of a lot harder to get your hands on a gun than it is currently. Hopefully technology like yours can ensure only those who are able to safely and responsibly operate such a lethal weapon are able to buy them
VR holds certain amount of promise, but we are yet to see how much of its potential will be utilized in the years to come.
I don't think there's a simple solution for crimes involving firearms. A larger scale, multidimensional and preventive approach is probably the only effective long-term choice. Psychological problems, illegal firearms and suicides are certain factors that show up often in gun related deaths and they are factors that can't be ignored.
Switzerland for example has one of the highest gun counts per capita. You can bring your rifle into a cafe there without anyone minding and still it's 1 in 200000 chance that you will be a victim of gun violence according to up do date statistics.
