[quote=ucodegen][quote=ScottUSA] Gun Lock Law: I think a law should be passed to ensure only the gun owner can shoot their gun using something they have or own. It could be a RFID chip, thumb print, PIN number, swipe card, and so on. The market place can work it out.[/quote]They tried it.. doesn’t work and was too problematic. Do you code it to all members of family, only one? The problem with RFID, Swipe Card is that in a home invasion, etc.. you have to find where you put those items(An there have been several documented examples of handguns being used to foil home invasions, one of them being quite recent and recorded across 911). RFID/swipe card can be hacked.. and the readers are fairly large. I have worked with thumbprint readers.. very problematic, particularly with Asians.
[quote=ScottUSA]I know this sounds crazy because a handmade gun could be created so easily but then I remember seat belts. By law I have to wear my seat belt. As a result everyone is safer.[/quote]It is crazy, because the Criminals will just pick up a black market manufactured gun.. Saturday Night Special II. You would have to have everyone patted down by police whenever the police feel like it to stop this.. do you want civil liberties to go that way? Is that an effective use of police effort?[/quote]
No you wouldn’t. You would follow the constitution, search only when reasonable and put people in prison for long periods of time for gun possession in public. There would be a very strong incentive not to carry a gun. Or to shoot it out with the police to avoid the long sentence. If the penalty is 25 years in prison for gun possession, that’s a strong incentive to just carry a knife.
