That just kicked off a thought.
I think Google will provide the solution to the gun problem.
Guns are fundamentally devices for accelerating small pieces of metal to high velocities. If we assume that society has a need for there to be occasionally small fast moving pieces of metal flying about, then really all that matters is choosing when, where and in which direction a piece of metal should be fired.
People are notoriously bad decision makers. Much like how cars would be safer driven by computers instead of people, guns should be controlled by computer too. Once Google's sorted the self driving car, they can move onto designing automated weapon platforms that can be deployed in locations where people sometimes desire there to be small fast moving pieces of metal flying about - their homes, streets, parks, shopping centres, schools etc.
That way society will be happy knowing that should the need for shots to be fired arrise, that need will be fulfilled, without human error.
