(905 posts)Firstly, I don't accept that guns cannot have power sources embedded.
True but the people you need to convince are the ones buying the item, you need to sell us on why we need it and how it makes the firearm better.
Secondly, if the default state of the weapon is "inoperable", and power is needed for it to function, then no "magic" is necessary.
UNACCEPTABLE. Hell even a failure state where the gun can not be fired is unacceptable.
I'm neither an inventor nor an engineer, but I'm savvy enough to know that we have more than enough technology to manufacture secure firearms, that only the legitimate owner would be able to use. Biometrics for example.
Ofcorce it is possible but no one who wants the tech will buy the product. The only way to get it implemented is to ban the older ones all of them and that will go over really well.
We also have the technology to manufacture highly effective non-lethal weaponry for those who need to defend themselves.
The above statement will only be true when militaries and police switch completely to non lethal. Currently we have pepper spray which is always a toss up as to who will be more effected by it. And tasers which only have an effect while the current is applied and gog help you if you miss.
