No, they’d be more susceptible to murder. Millions of shootings are stopped by responsible gun owners every year. Criminals typically use illegally purchased guns regardless, so all this would do is strip responsible gun owners of means to defence and make criminals feel more comfortable brandishing their firearms and shoot people with them

Haven't these congressman & congresswomen learnt the basic manner that kids even know well which is " do not interrupt someone while he or her is speaking, especially the person who is answering your question?" Don't ask the question if you think you knew the answer or not even in a position to believe it.

It's not going to be done anytime soon. I mean, the best he could say is that it has the upper bound time of the heat death of the universe. A year is a reasonable estimate from a business point of view especially when talking about terabytes of data.

The Singaporean CEO of TikTok should ask the Congressman can Facebook, Instagram and any other US-based / US-origin social media app access home / office WiFi? If the answer is YES, then these Us-based / US-origin social media is a national threat to other Countries too ! If the answer is NO, then what makes him thinks that TikTok can? If the Congressman replied that US-based / US-origin social media app cannot but TikTok can, does this implied that the technology of China social media app is far more advanced than those from the US ? So, in this case has US finally realized that China technology is now ahead of the US ?
