but to use a public health approach to try to make them much safer.
This shows his true colors right there. "Guns are a disease" according to the public health fascists(and that's exactly what the public health lobby is).
"You can tell whether a camera is loaded by looking at it, and you should be able to tell whether a gun is loaded by looking at it,"
Guns are always loaded, dummy. They must let anyone into Harvard nowadays.
Require magazine safeties so a gun cannot be fired when the clip is removed (people can forget that a bullet may still be in the chamber and pull the trigger). Many guns already have magazine safeties, but not all.
One of the first training rules is remembering that in semiautos, there's one in the chamber.
This innovation would protect children - and thwart criminals.
Will the cops use smart guns?
This guy needs to get bitchslapped again in 2006
"One of the first training rules is remembering that in semiautos, there's one in the chamber."
Not only that, but if you drop a magazine in combat, the one in the chamber can save your ass.
Think you're right, they still want a global ban, and they think they just need a sneakier way to get there.
They aren't addressing the problems that private gun ownership was intended to solve in the first place. This shows their ideological selfishness. They want a state monopoly of firepower, and they don't care about the entailed consequences of their ideology. And frankly, I wonder if they ever did. Care about the public, that is, as opposed to their political theories.
Duh. People who forget this will someday find themselves nominated for a Darwin Award.
I don't consider my guns to be "safe" until they are a pile of unconnected pieces lying on the table, waiting to be cleaned. That is the only time I'd be willing to say "this is an unloaded weapon".
