Argue in another thread or in PM, please.
When you manage to confinscate all guns, and stop any from ever being imported, humans will just begin using knives.Spumantiii wrote:
that's why you make the penalties so high that they stop taking the risk. Also, try prevention, and investigate the known sources of the weapons coming to the country. Also: how many murders were those guns involved with? Were they being used to kill people or what? There are lots of guns everywhere, the difference is how strict the laws are for consequences of using them. Maybe they'd been sitting around not getting used, like a lot of guns here, except for hunting. Double the jail time. Issue a fine.
I'll even do your work for you and give you something to read.

"Canadian technology is also being used to develop "smart guns" that can be fired only by their owners. Mytec Technologies Inc. of Toronto is working with Smith & Wesson, the world's largest gun manufacturer, to perfect a device that scans the shooter's fingerprints and compares it with data stored in the weapon. Once the user is authorized, a circuit board unlocks the gun. Under an agreement Smith & Wesson reached with U.S. federal, state and local governments in March 2000, it promised to equip all new handgun models introduced after three years with the smart-gun technology.
"
thus ends illegal weapon trade.
My point of this? Humans evolve and they adapt. No laws will ever stop that.
EDIT in response of your addition::
I'm a computer engineering major and a gun owner. I'm sorry, but no peice of circuit board will ever stop a gun from being fired. It will only prevent a gun from being fired by a person with limited experience with modern electronics.

the gun stays locked if the circuit is compromised.
programmer? cool me too
It's being designed with all the most obvious criticisms in mind, it can't be tampered with or the gun will lock for good
I believe the lock is built in to the integral parts of the trigger arm or something I'll look (meaning it can't be removed)
this is true (your comment about human nature) but, I have to argue on the behalf of stiffer penalties. The same applies to knives, it is assault with a deadly weapon, and is charged as such, if you make the penalties for all assaults higher, people will think twice before making ANY kind of action, whether it be fist, knife, or pistol.

That's why I'm opposed to guns - because they too often end up in the hands of idiots like these. I've got the PM button ready.
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Yes programmer, but I also create circuitry. All those funny little lines you see on motherboards. Thus Computer "Engineer", not Computer "Science"Spumantiii wrote:

If you weren't trying to claim this as yours, you wouldn't have made the title "so I nearly got killed today" and you would have put something like "this guy got lucky" in the actual post.
Face it, you got called out and you didn't want to fess up to the fact that you overlooked details such as the post date, and the location of the person in the Live Journal versus your location, before posting it.
