GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[crash]

Anyway, I could see how legislating mandatory new smart technology for all guns (old and new) could reduce gun violence if it meant only the legal owner could fire the gun through fingerprint recognition, or something like that.

Should smart gun technology come to be, what is your opinion on the forced altering of family heirlooms?

You mean to tell me that you'd start crying if a 1/64" was taken off the firing pin of your great grand pappy's winchester?

We don't know how this smart gun shit will work yet. SO yes, alter that thousand dollar 100 year old Winchester of my grandpappys and yes, I will cry.

ETA . . . Ok not real tears but you know what I am saying.

Yes, I do know what you're saying.

I don't think this would be an issue (and shouldn't) be an issue in American gun reform. It's not like there are too many homies out there shooting up the hood with 100 year old Winchesters. Nor have too many massacres been carried out with one since the days of the OK corral.

Giving your 10 year old son an armourlite for his birthday is a different story.
