And then i get to this:

Firearms are currently exempt from the health and safety laws that apply to every other
consumer product in America, from toasters to teddy bears. Applying those same standards to
guns would be a major step forward in reducing gun death and injury in America.

And I disregard everything else they said. When they put a statement in that is so fundementally wrong I cannot take anything else seriously. While I appreciate an honest look at current "smart gun" technology it seems the VPC just could not resist inserting a blatent falsehood into their narrative.

Oh well, SSDD.
