Right, the gun can't be fired without human interaction. Again, the problem comes from the gun ending up in the wrong hands. We, as humans, can't always control that.
Ok. You're arguing in a circle and missing your exit. But that's ok. We agree that the human factor is the issue. You're looking to "baby-proof" the gun to restrict access. But wouldn't it be more effective to fix the human? Instead of a "crap, can't use that gun, where's the knife?" result..... what if we fix the root cause so their thought process is now "geez, I can't do that, imagine the death destruction and misery I'd cause". Or "can't do that, it's illegal". Your idea is putting a bandaid on an arterial bleed.
I certainly don't have the answer to fixing the gang mentality, criminal appeal, lack of respect and mental health issues that cause 99% of shootings. But I do know we proved your idea will not work, based simply on cell coverage gaps.
You can't be there all the time to make sure your gun or any gun doesn't end up in the wrong hands. A five year old who got a hold of his daddy's gun for example. How do you stop the kid from firing the gun?
Same way I stopped my 3 kids from getting anything I didn't want them to have. The gun, locked up. My money, phone, beer, cigarettes... told them no and enforced consequences.
I've got about 30 different firearms right now. And have had guns since about 1988. Guess how many of my kids were harmed. Zero. Guess how many were stolen. Zero.
Which is another point I mentioned a few pages ago. When you enact new laws/restrictions on guns, the only people it affects are the legal gun owners. The criminals don't care what your law says.
We already have laws to punish a parent if the kid kid gets hold of a gun.
Congratulations. You are one of the smart and responsible gun owners.
Tell that to a family that wasn't so lucky and lost someone because someone wasn't as careful as you.
Or, the victims of mass shootings like Sandy Hook.
And about 99% of gun owners are like me. Why do you keep trying to punish us for the actions of the other 1%.
Actually less. Just checked some stats.
383,000,000 guns in the US.
14,500 homicides (2017)
What is that? About .0038 %
Compare to 1,250,000 car crash deaths per year avg
Which machine is really more dangerous to the populace?
