    I'm bumping my own post!

    You need to link the gun to the user. All guns manufactured prior to this technology being developed need to be turned in. If you want to own a pre-tech gun, you must endure a LENGTHY application process and be able to pay a lot. You're a collector or whatever. (Personally I think this is dumb but that's besides the point...oh I love my vintage hunting gun from Grandpappy Brown! -- fuckattahere.) The tech solution:

    The gun constantly emits a signal that can be paired with a smartphone. Think RFID...You CAN NOT disable this and if you do, the local police are notified using cellular networks. The device MUST be paired to the phone. Otherwise, it can not fire. The hammer can not go down without this. The phone must be authenticated with your FINGERPRINT to be accessed and accept gun pairing. A companion app can see how many bullets are in the gun which you download from the precious NRA and ATF! Should one be expelled, the app reports this. Let's say you're going hunting. You can say OK! I'm going hunting -- here's where, and I have 200 rounds I intend to use...turn on hunting mode...

    You need to use the technology to force accountability. You can't escape your fingerprint plus pairing plus licenses. The grip on the gun MATCHES YOUR FINGERPRINT to the one you ahthenticated on the smartphone!!!

    I'm sorry but NOBODY is doing a real damn thing about this. Anyone who protests the integration of technology into firearms is a jerkoff. These are the people who are nefarious or so attached to their old pistol out of some jerked off nostalgic love affair that kids, innocent people are dying.

    It's just got to happen. You use a gun without this? Prison. You have a gun without this? PRISON. You are pulled over and you have a gun and not the companion app? PRISON. For a long time. No parole. Sure, have your guns. But be accountable. Identify yourself and be visible. Be transparent. DO THE RIGHT THING.

    Now you might say well why do I need to sacrifice my PRIVACY for your SECURITY. Well, because you are forcing me to sacrifice my SAFETY for your PRIVACY. And you do not get to choose that for me. In one scenario, people live and in the other, people die. Those on the side of life should not bear the burden of sacrifice.

    Fix it!
    People need to come around to this and stop pretending we are doing all we can to keep people safe!

      I'm joining this thread just to see Riccardo's replies.
      500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.

        I saw something on the news about new technology that doesn't allow the safety to come off unless it recognizes your finger print when you grip it. I think something like that would be great.

            that the 3 states with the strictest gun laws in the US (Illinois, NJ, and CA) also have the worst gun violence in the US?

                He gets to keep his security. He gets to hunt. He can do everything he does today in my scenario. What he loses is his sense of privacy but unfortunately, that's just too bad.

                You want these things you need to buy in to the system that protects people and puts human life at the forefront, not the one that makes everyone a private agent with outlaw potential. If a guy breaks into your home, you have every right to defend yourself but that will be reported and you will have to state that yes "my window was smashed in and a guy was threatening my family so I acted within the law and ended the encounter."

                We have laws and regulations in this country to protect people from other types of devastation. Financial being one. We have seen a history of how deregulating the financial sector exposed the population of consumers to too much risk and said "hey, this is BAD." We at least TRY to truly regulate that area. This one is so much worse. It involves a loss of life.

                Take everything any of us own away from us, clear our accounts. We will be OKAY. But take our lives away? Family members? Nah. I just don't see how you can defend that.

                  I don't understand IG's title to this thread

                  If he said "congratulations to Islamic terrorism" it would make sense.

                    bwaahahahaha
                    John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.

                        It's real easy to skew the numbers when they include suicides (Which make up the majority of the deaths) in the statistics.

                          Nice try. It's easy to skew the numbers when you ignore an entire group of people killed by guns.

                            In the last 365 days there have been more days with mass shootings, defined as four or more, than days without. 209 days with shootings of four people or more. But keep blaming Islam.

                              So suicides don't count?

                              Do you think any of the suicides could have been averted if a gun wasn't handy?

                                I haven't even looked at the link, but I'm not sure it makes sense to lump suicide deaths in with murders. Aren't we really talking about the ability of one person to kill others? A person who has made the determination to take his or her own life is likely to carry it out. Establishing a plan usually occurs beforehand, so, theoretically, if there is no other method available (pills, knives, etc), not having the firearm might make a difference. I think it is unlikely though. This is distinguishable from the fact that firearms provide a tool that can't easily be replicated in the context of killing others.
