Response to: Trigger-lock proposal would save lives, not trample rights

by Michael Z. Williamson

"A small concession on the Second Amendment."

Okay, let's compromise--you make a small concession on the First Amendment--a five day wait on publication while the government checks your facts for accuracy.

It amazes me that idiots who have never handled a firearm feel sufficiently credentialed to tell me, an expert marksman (US Army and USAF) and armorer what will make those firearms safer.

Since the TRIGGER fires the weapon, a mechanical device attached to it creates the GREATEST risk of an accidental discharge. And any 10 year old can either run through all 1000 combinations in 15 minutes, or pry it off with a screwdriver.

I think the lesson here is simple: men who oppose abortion shouldn't have one, straights who hate gays shouldn't kiss one, and stupid liberals who hate guns shouldn't have one. None of them should dictate their bigoted theories to the rest of us.
