Well, suppose you're held up by a gunman, you manage to wrestle the gun from him, but it won't fire because the gun won't recognize your fingerprints. Bang! You're dead.

thats why god invented pistol whipping.

but the NRA and it's kin are fighting this technology, for some reason.

Most misinformation by the anti-gun lobby? The NRA isn't fighting the technology but fighting making it MANDATORY! There is a BIIIIG difference.

Yes, with this technology one could not report one's gun as stolen and then go out and use it because the police would know that you were the only one who could have fired it anyway!

Do you think that there are any circumstances under which public policy should be made based upon the assessment of the probability of risks versus benefits? What is the likelihood of you wrestling a gun from a gunman versus the likelihood of someone who is not supposed to have a particular gun, i.e., a child or a thief, promulgating a tragedy? Be honest.

I didn't say this was a very likely scenario, but it sounds like something the NRA might say.

We're spending billions of dollars creating a gun registry. That'll stop gun crimes, according to the Liberals.

And yes, too many French.

how fast can a moose go these days?

and what if you shoved the gun in the moose?

[Asher]

The horses the RCMP use can outrun a moose, sadly.

but a moose can use it's antlers on the horse and the RCMP officer if the need be.

if you tried to legally cross the border on a moose, what would they say/do?

guns that scan your hands are also good if a criminal takes a gun away from you. Which is likely as criminals have less hesitation than the average law abider.

But technology is not viable yet. Because this technology has to be approved by police forces (because cops get their guns taken away too). But to be approved by police forces it has to be durable and still have 100% accuracy on the fingerprint tech. Durability is a problem still as a gun firing puts a lot of shock through the gun. And you have batteries and such that must resist getting wet. It's a technological nightmare.

gunlocks are available today everwhere. People should use them if they have kids. I don't use a gun lock because I have no kids. Plus I want it to be readily available. A gun is worthless if you are still fumbling around with the lock when the bad guy comes in your room.
