MIT has a competition called Solve wherein they look for innovative solutions for different problems. This year, wait for it, Everytown is sponsoring an MIT Solve competition to "reductions in gun violence." Of course, they are looking for technology solutions to this "problem." Technology can be data or hardware, etc.
Notwithstanding my disgust w/ Everytown, wouldn't it be interesting if a pro-2nd amendment person were to compete for a prize related to the creation or use of technology to limit the REAL drivers of violence in cities?
Any techies, creative types or inventors out there that would want to give this a go? Only a few days to submit an idea and anyone can enter.
And yes, I know that Everytown is probably just going to award the money to someone who will use commie tech solutions from China, Google, Facebook or other similar sources to try to crush your civil rights. But it might be fun anyway for some people of the gun to offer tech solutions that address the real causes of urban violence.

Everytown for Gun Safety Prize
Holistic, community-based solutions that use technology to make communities safer are eligible for up to $100,000 in grant funding provided by Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund. Selected solutions will contribute to reductions in gun violence and its impacts through the use of data or digital technology. Successful approaches can address the upstream drivers of gun violence, such as poverty or access to firearms, and/or the downstream impacts, such as psychological trauma. Solutions that utilize data should source, maintain, and use that data ethically and responsibly. Solver team(s) will be selected to receive the prize from the Healthy Cities or Community-Driven Innovation Challenges.
