12. So some of those proposals are worth discussing

For example, I think training is a good idea for handgun owners that would go some way towards preventing accidental shootings, but would do nothing to cut down on suicides or murders.

Other though not so much. Why should someone with multiple misdemeanor alcohol convictions be banned from owning a gun? I fail to see any relationship between that law and preventing any type of gun violence. I also say no to "safe storage" laws, which are largely unenforceable in any event. A waiting period of two weeks is a non-starter.

My handgun already has a loaded chamber indicator. My understanding is that the smart gun technology isn't particularly good, but if one that is designed that works I wouldn't be opposed to it.
