Replace guns with miniaturized Cruise Missile launchers. Such cruise missiles can be guided by a variety of technologies from already existing laser aims to GPS, voice/image recognition and the like.
In addition to removing the need to aim and reducing colatteral damage, it would fulfill Chris
Rock's brilliant Gun Control idea (It's not guns, it's bullets. Bullets should cost like a $1,000 each).
We will also start hearing Stop, Or I'll Let That Bullet Catch You in cop movies.

Per the TV program I just watched, the armaments industry is hard at work on bullets that track their targets, that explode at an ad hoc range (so you can hit someone around a corner or in a foxhole, for example), and otherwise make it pretty much a given that if someone fires a gun at you, you're dead. |

Saw this (technology on link) on Science Channel yesterday |
|

[tc] I followed the link - that thing is 4.5cm in diameter - in my book, that's hardly a bullet, that's artillery. |

I'm seeing the dum-dum bullets from "Roger Rabbit". |

Read sci-fi. Many books have this. |

[DF]: Do these sci-fi books explain how it works? (Not that this idea does, of course.)
<baldrick>"... so I thought that if I *owned* the bullet with my name on it ..."</baldrick>" |

[angel] -- I was proposing tracking mechanisms. The article proposes steering mechanisms. |

Shirley the best way is to have bullets with a paper target stuck on front, so wherever they end up, they hit the bulls eye..... |

NB not to be tested on bulls, they have enough problems as it is without intermittent sniper fire. |
