      Evidence collected over many years, obtained from many locations, indicates that the power of Prayer is insufficient to stop bullets from killing school children.

          Yeah, that's worked out great so far. Hack a car and make it do anything till it stops running. Yeah, that will work.

          So the drones our last president used to take out (and most likely for better reason than we know) an American citizen should be programmed to make the decision to kill on its own? Or were we not conflating an Armalite rifle to military weaponry?

          For the reckless people who are responsible for accidents with injuries. Or for those that don't want to obtain a driver's license. Or like an optional feature for those who want to do some work (or watch a movie) while driving to their job. Not forced on all the people, right?!

          (not ready yet solution) however it doesn't mean that it will not happen anymore, it just means that you shifted the responsibility. By the way u r self-driving person, that's why prayers don't work for you...
