So like football, you can gird your loins so that your loins can be exploded by even harder impact. This is insanity.

The only way to make "fighting sports" safe is to ban hits to damage-prone areas of the body. But the organizing body's in those sports are unwilling to go far enough - apparently we want, nay, _need_ to see blood, spit, injury and yes, death in our "fighting sports".

"ShotSpotter, the company behind a technology that listens for gunfire's acoustic signature and reports it to authorities."

Yet another company spamming for yet another surveillance device.

tl;dr Statistically acceptable and verifiable measures(homicides, suicides, gunshot injuries) of gun violence are not shocking enough - we should replace them with counts of every potential gun shot fired.

"potential gun shot" = e.g., truck backfiring, dumpster lid dropping, slamming door, car collision, gunshot, etc.

Any stats available on how many "loud bangs" occur in a city each day?
