shoot you. It would not have stopped Colorado Springs. It wound not have stopped San Bernardino. It would not stop any of the times that the cop shot someone. It would not have stopped the time the kid pulled the gun from his mothers purse as she would have been close enough for whatever security device to work.

Probably the only time it would work is if someone stole the gun and tried to use it later. But since there has to be a way to rekey the safety device (ring, watch whatever) if it is lost, the idea is mute.

The only way that seems logical is the Australia model. Ban them all.
