Right there is my big NO vote.
Subsidized by the Federal Govt means taxes. This "problem" affects 0.0044342507645259936% of the population (327,000,000 population / 14500 homicides by gun)
We already tax the ever living crap out of the working folks. Quit taking my money.... remember a few pages back where i said my YTD deduction are already over $35k?
Guess we could tweak that number a bit if we're just looking at accidental deaths by firearms. Since we know this wont stop the criminal.
Accidental firearms deaths per year = 495. https://www.aftermath.com/content/accidental-shooting-deaths-statistics/
Now we take that 495 accidental firearms deaths per year against the 327,000,000 population.... and here's the percent of US citizens it affects 0.00015137614678899082%
There you go thinking with feeling rather than fact.
The facts show this "problem" is statistically insignificant.
Of course it's significant to the people that are affected.
But now, all of the locations you mentioned were the result of acts committed by a criminal. You have still failed to show how this will prevent a criminal from committing a criminal act
Oh right, it don't matter because statistically speaking the numbers are too low to count.
All the numbers are above. 495 accidental, 14500 homicide.... what you describe now is somewhere in between. Still statistically not a big issue.
And STILL waiting for you to explain how you will prevent the criminal from being a criminal.
The technology will prevent the gun from firing when the gun ends up in the wrong hands; besides the owner. i.e. A five year old who got a hold of his daddy's gun. Is the five year old a criminal?
Why do you act like such a tool?
Did I ever call a 5 year old a criminal?
Let me spell this out for you, since you are missing the most basic of facts laid out in front of you.
I've told you already, if you want to do this for the sake of the 5 year old who gets daddy's gun...cool... go for it. Make the gun, sell it, and let those who think they're not smart enough to own a real gun buy it for the added protection.
But to force it upon the entire country, at the cost of of about 100 billion dollars (approx 300mil guns, avg low price $350ea)... AND expect the government (tax payers) to fund it. For something that affects .00015% of the population..... is absolutely ludicrous.
(A $30 gun safe/ gun vault offers the child protection your looking for)
And thats just the cost of the guns, not even factoring in your cell phone tech with the call centers and employees, and god know what else.
I'll stop here, as more than one topic point seems to screw up your OODA loop.
