If we try to make a gun that your children can't find and play with and accidentally fire into some other child's skull, we will have lost an important piece of America. If we try to make a gun for police departments that only officers can fire and not people who might be attacking them, well now that takes some of the sport out of it, doesn't it?
how deluded are people if they think that this is the beginning of some kind of gun-armageddon?
The real question is; How deluded is she to think the idea is good?
No it is not.How is it not? If only one accident is ever prevented because a gun refused to fire because the owner was not handling it, is it not worth it?
making guns that only the government can use is essentially disarming the slaves now isnt it.
do some research and will find that governments ARE the NUMBER one killer of all time.
so i guess arming the number one killer makes you feel safer how?
you are all for disarming the slaves huh?

Posted a couple of links. How sad is it that the NRA opposes technology that would limit the usage of handguns?
In the words of the NRA, this might lead to "opening the door to a ban on all guns that do not possess the government-required technology."
Except that no one at this point is even suggesting this technology be government mandated. Given the millions of legal guns currently in circulation, I am not even certain that such a requirement could even be technically or logistically feasible, let alone desirable.
But... leaving that aside for a moment, how deluded are people if they think that this is the beginning of some kind of gun-armageddon? No one is suggesting you give up normal guns, no one is suggesting that we get rid of them. This is just one way of protecting people from gun-related accidents and tragedies. In the words of the Daily Kos article,

What if one fails to protect its rightful owner at the time of need? How many times have cars not worked, and needed to be fixed, because a gov't mandated feature has failed? I do not want a gun that has a dead battery or a cracked/blocked "me" sensor and thus become "armed" with a hammer.
If you do not know what is wrong with the idea to begin with, I surely can't help you.If she is selling a gun that has a tech lock to prevent accidental mis-fires... and can sell to people that want it... what business or fault is it of hers that government may adopt this technology and make it manditory?
The real question is; How deluded is she to think the idea is good?
You are completely missing the point... This is not a government inspired or mandated technology... This was manufactured by someone in the private market, for use on the private market. If a government agency were to purchase these guns, they would be supporting private enterprise and doing so in a way that would control the use of state weapons.
If people want them, they will buy them. If there is a market demand fine. If not, it will be another failed idea.

Ok i see now. But lets say you are being mugged at gunpoint are able to get the gun away form the mugger.
I would want the ability to able to use the gun against the thug wouldnt you?

See, I told you I couldn't help you.So you can't, in simple American English, explain why you believe her selling a tech lock gun-- which has no bearing on what government does--is a bad idea?
surely you cant mean her having the right to sell a tech lock firearm is a bad idea...surely you dont mean that.

Wtf?Your usefulness is noted
I agree with this. Let the consumer decide....not the NRA.
