&quot;ShotSpotter, the company behind a technology that listens for gunfire&#x27;s acoustic signature and reports it to authorities.&quot;<p>Yet another company spamming for yet another surveillance device.<p>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.<p>&quot;potential gun shot&quot; = e.g., truck backfiring, dumpster lid dropping, slamming door, car collision, gunshot, etc.<p>Any stats available on how many &quot;loud bangs&quot; occur in a city each day?
