Is it too much of a stretch to suggest that a Robo dog or a robot person or hell even a Camera a surveillance camera could be engineered to take care of a mass shooter in a small space? Or even not in a small space?

1. I'd be concerned about hacking and

the remote weapon being used on innocent people.
But I'm not a robotics or software person.

2. From what I've see out of companies like Boston Robtics I would think it is highly possible.

There are probably legal and ethical consideration that weigh into. On a side note that type if technology in the wrong hands is a pretty frightening thought.

6. There is no reason, the drone you see, dropping a grenade on a Russian ship,

can''t be scaled down to the size of a hawk and carry a couple of '38 rounds.

10. Well, as someone who played a lot of Rock-em, Sock-em robots, I'd say it would be very easy.

Unfortunately, local police departments that have robots have promised not to use them this way.
