The ‘brown note’ is a real thing but too hard to focus into a useable crowd control device. The effect often went 360, especially if reflected off of buildings. It’s like DM gas…great idea and effective until the wind shifts or someone throws the canister back, the russians have used it and found out the hard way.
Former USA. From “Wild West” to “OMIGOD! It’s a PopTart shaped like a gun! Were All Gonna’ Die!”
Go to many other countries and see soldiers/police armed with Real “assault”/battle weapons on the streets. I just saw an article about some BBQ joint having armed guards and interviews on their local news. Of course some local guy called the Armalite (AR) style weapon an automatic.
I’m all for Common Sense Gun Control! No, really, I am! Where I part from the left is in thinking that Constitutional Carry is common sense.
Good Gun Control is a solid grip, a clear sight picture, and a proper trigger squeeze.
I’m guessing that those Terminator pulsar rifles are designed to thwart aggressive FBI/BATFE goons launching raids on the farm. Such technology would obviously render the attacking feds into a bunch of distracted and self-obsessed rump-bumpers who then sheepishly slinker off quietly to the nearest Starbucks for their de-briefing.
My worry is that if you push enough truly awful creatures into the blue zones, those zones are going to start bleeding slightly less awful creatures into the red zones.
And what do blue refugees bring with them? Like rats, they bring the same filth they saturated their old habitat with.
Remember that the post-modern progressive obsession is the “fifteen-minute city”- a densified urban environment in which everything is no more than a fifteen-minutes’-long walk from everything else.
Inhabited by enlightened elites who have electric-powered limousines- and peasants who walk, or take the electric-powered bus, or else.
Such a Hell City would tend to be a haven for imported peasants with the manners, morals, semi-intelligence, territoriality, and viciousness of raccoons in your attic.
Ruled over by self-defined “superiors” who see themselves as gods.
Actually, they’ll be hipster/slacker types whose main goal in life is the perfectly-prepared breakfast of avocado toast.
Delivered, of course. They can’t be bothered to make it themselves.

15 minutes. How many of our needed facilities are available within 15 minutes of walking?
I get the progressive idea for the 15-minute city – but I cannot figure out how they intend to get all the necessary goods delivered to all of the areas in the typical blue city. Take Seattle – there would be many areas that need goods delivered – but who would do the delivering and who would do the making, packaging,etc.? It seems to be not practical, even on paper. Personally I think they really want Hunger Games done in live action.
They think they’ll live like it’s Star Trek’s 24th Century socialist Utopia.
With the peasants living like it’s 7th Century AD Somalia.
As Spock would point out, what’s missing from this equation is the technological base for the former, which the latter would be incapable of supplying.
But people who run on “feelings” and their self-conceived sense of innate superiority rarely engage in logic.

Well, thank goodness nothing as bad as ‘Waco’ was. “Colony Ridge” is in Liberty County, Texas, just north of Houston.

Interesting concepts.
Kind of reminds of the alleged instant laxative ray gun from a few years back.
The sonic crowd disperser developed a few years back was rumored to have similar affects on people…..

If the gun caused a sudden uncontrollable craving for Taco Bell and cheap draught beer, you might get that effect 😉
Dayum – I gotta get me one of those!!!
My daughter got me a sticker for the back of my car, “GUN CONTROL IS USING BOTH HANDS”.
Gun control is hitting the target!
. . . the first time.
“Gun control is six bullets through the same hole!”
Good gun control is hitting what you’re aiming at.
Better keep that thing loaded up…

Don’t forget the Kung Pow chicken finger gun 😉

Ordering macchiatos and virtue signaling?
That weapon sounds a lot like a scaled down version of the once proposed “gay bomb” …

So…how is that any different?

Managing those ’15-minute cities’ pays well.

When that gig is up, there will soon be thousands of openings for “contact tracers” again, same hourly as the invader job plus hazardous duty pay.

That’s about as far as they go.
