Going beyond this story, I see a strategy where crime is allowed to take over and we cry out for somebody to do SOMETHING! This would set the stage for a huge police state with the citizens' blessing, an equally bad outcome in my opinion.
The term strategy sounds like tin foil hattery, but it's getting harder and harder to see it as unintended consequences.

Been looking long and hard at this, it would be expensive at first but depending on how much you shoot it will pay for itself in saved ammo costs 

All kinds of different handguns are available from 3d printers so you don’t need to be stuck with one grip

But you need the VR headset (Quest 3) & I’ll need glasses inserts and then a subscription but it’s got a good law enforcement/military discount
