    Why can't the manufacturers market "smart guns" outside the US? Surely, the NRA's grip isn't world-spanning.

      The US is the largest market for firearms, so the NRA can use the threat of boycotting a manufacturer within the states to prevent the technology gaining traction elsewhere.

      I would imagine that any manufacturer being seen doing so, would face US consumer boycotts.

    > I have at least a few readers for which the sound of a man's voice saying "government cell phone detected" will elicit a palpable reaction.

    Can this be recreated as an audio clip for jumpscaring former govt employees?

      Why not just rip the audio file off? Would make for a funny DC request

      Edit: On second thought this could be an OPSEC problem. Sorry but I don’t know if anyone can help you :(

        I bet the tts voice is public and something made by AT&T in the 80s or 90s.
