The Gun Lobby And A Dumb Law Are Keeping Us From Safer Guns

[Starboard Tack]

4. I agree, and have brought this up several times in the Gungeon.

Invariably, it has been shot down (pardon the pun) by our more zealous brethren, on the grounds that the technology won't work, it's unproven, the caliber is too small, it isn't as efficient a killing tool, blah, blah, blah. And, of course, New Jersey. Well, let's get the law amended in NJ and grandfather in the existing handguns, but hold the owners accountable if they are stolen or the cause of unintended shootings. Also, any public carry should be restricted to smart guns. I think the most dangerous aspect of public carry is the risk of being dispossessed of one's gun by someone with criminal intent.

I feel positive that this technology will eventually prevail, just as seatbelts and airbags prevailed. Because it makes sense.
