Well the American way is not to hold the company accountable, I.e. school shootings, so yeah.
I’m pretty sure you can’t hold a school liable for a school shooting
I think they were referring to the firearm manufacturer and\or seller.
Yes, this, not the school.
Still can’t really hold them liable unless they deliberately sold a weapon to someone who legally was prohibited from having a weapon.
Shooting are more of a mental health and social media issue in my mind. The bigger question is why did someone feel the need to kill others?
That’s a very American point of view though - America isn’t holding those who create/sell tools that do bad things to account. If gun manufacturers were held responsible for how the things they created were used, you can bet anything suddenly they’d be hell of lot safer. Which is the exact same point about AI.
(Obviously not holding manufacturers/sellers to account is not an America-only issue, but this article is about AI and the USA so that’s the example I’m using.)
As a non-American, I think the general question is why on earth does the general public need semi-automatic weapons. Or really, any weapons.
I mean we’re also not suing Toyota or Stolichnaya to stop drunk driving. In America the onus is on you not to do the bad thing, not on the companies or government for not preventing you from doing it. In America if you kill someone it is your fault, not Ruger’s.
Frankly I’m surprised it doesn’t work that way in every country, if you sell a friend your old car and he hits an old lady years or months later would you get charged? That sucks.
I guess its a cultural difference. America likes its guns.
I see the gun issue in America in the same light as the car issue. We’re in way too fucking deep, and it’s a part of our culture now. I hate both, but I acknowledge how difficult it is to do something about it.
it’s easy to do, people just don’t wanna.
Making people do something they don’t wanna do is actually fairly difficult. I personally don’t drive or own a gun, but the people who do either tend to be pretty serious about it.
