It's like their uncle's gun and they bring it into school like every day for like three months.
They get in a fight at recess and they shoot it, the gun.
Sometimes shoot somebody, sometimes they shoot it.
And that is majority of all thing, all gun events.
The ones where you see like a planned event that's like on like CNN, where somebody is like coming in with a machine gun or automatic weapon, it happens like one or two times a year.
It's on the front page of the news.
The majority of all the cases, like 90 something percent is all happening from unplanned.
Folks are bringing in guns all the time.
And then they're shooting it.
So you basically, what you can do is you can stop all those.
The planned ones are very difficult and maybe impossible to stop.
But the 90 some percent of all other shootings, you can actually, I think you can avoid those.
Meaning like you can prevent them by knowing if somebody has a gun on them.
You can do it the old-fashioned way, which is like metal detectors and all this other stuff.
But it's just like, we don't want the kids to go into school like that.
That's just not how I want my kids growing up.
So basically, the reason why I got obsessed with terahertz imaging is you could basically do this at a larger offset, 10, 20, 30 meters away.
You can do it at a high frame rate, and you basically get back a point cloud.
You basically get back an image.
It's like a three-dimensional camera image almost, but it's done in a radio frequency.
