8. Smart gun technology has been around for quite awhile, and some of it is much cheaper than that.

For example, MAGNETIC RING smart gun conversion has been around for quite awhile. The cost of this conversion kit is only $95.

I remember hearing about the magnetic ring smart gun for the first time in about 1989. The talk at the time was that Police and prison guards would use them, so that no bad guy could grab their gun and use it AGAINST them. If you're not wearing the ring, the gun won't fire. (There were a couple of high profile cases of crooks snatching the gun out of a cop's holster, and shooting them with it.)

I remember thinking that if just ONE major city started having their police use these smart guns, it might set a trend. Unfortunately it never happened. Maybe now's the time to revisit the idea.

I don't think gun ownership per se is the defining difference kristopher May 2014 #12

I agree, but Zebonaut's post didn't imply a difference. AtheistCrusader May 2014 #18
