You don't lower the cost of killing by improved targeting, you lower it by thugs shooting people in broad daylight with no consequences.

I understand the argument that moving the decision making power to a black box would clear conscience of the operator, yadda yadda yadda, but newsflash, price of human life is falling so quick, that I think we're far beyond the point where it matters.
