| The Coming Internet of Things All For GUNS! |
I like it when I have an inspiration of creativity, particularly at someone else’s expense! I mean, that’s what Twitter and the Social Media Zoo are all about, no?
Had the chance to ruffle some feathers on Twitter last night, poking the worried and armed about the path of the future for guns. I’m convinced -- even as a person who cares little for and knows little about guns -- that Smart Tech is going to deliver the death shot to Dumb Guns and ultimately disable the antics and tactics of organizations like the NRA, which I lovingly refer to by its actual efforts, the National Ridiculous Ass.
And by technology I’m thinking mainly of the rise of the Internet of Things … of EVERY and I mean EVERYTHING … and the damage these advancements will inflict on those who think guns are somehow exempt from progress. They clearly know little about node-based blockchain potentials.
As I’ve sought to explain routinely, why do folks believe that when my toaster will speak to my e-toothbrush that will then communicate with my refrigerator to alert the farmers who produce healthier food to send it to my grocer who can have it remotely delivered to my home … that when this happens … like in a year or two … guns are going to be left out in the old-fashioned wilderness all by themselves?
Because gunners take confidence in such self-deception. Because groups like the NRA have convinced them of this. Because they believe the Second Amendment has anything to do with their personal ownership of guns.
Because those who fight for guns at any cost -- even the cost of 100 lives per day -- have such extreme separatist identities that they refuse to join the here and now. Instead, they prefer to be left alone with dangerous boy toys with SPM capacities that serve no humanitarian purpose.
Bad people are not coming to get most of us … or if they are, it will be through software and hardware. Smart Guns (over Dumb Guns) anticipate and adjust the odds … actually in favor of good gun users.
Which is why I believe that there truly is a special place in the hell of twisted reasoning for such thinking. And it will only take a slight modification of the IoT acronym to play the appropriate changes out. An IoT4Gs … an Internet of Things for Guns … will serve to distinguish for most people that this special place deserves special consideration. Once so accepted, specialized and targeted changes can follow.
The emergence of blockchain and related connectivity processes and lifestyles (which I write about on another site, http://MyImpactView.wordpress.com) is perfectly armed for this assault on Dumb Guns. And that assault with the purpose of regaining control and management of guns is happening quickly. Which is why I suggest we get ready to play out the process in ways that work well with true and actual social and community interests.
There is something called Stuxnet, which is a form of malware … software and programming designed to infiltrate and disable machines and such as they operate. The time is nearing when this same OFFENSIVE capability will find a place in assault weapon oversight … which is why it deserves a classification of its own.
Iot4Gs works for me.

Thanks for sharing. The idea is for me to motivate you (and others) to do something with good ideas. Some are mine, some belong to others; all belong to the world of change.
