Smartphones are locked with a pass code, and some with a fingerprint sensor. But guns, left loaded and ready to fire, can be used by children who accidentally stumble upon them or thieves who steal them. Wouldn’t using “smart guns” — firearms that don’t work without electronic confirmation of ownership — make communities safer?

200 years of gun manufacturing refinement has made modern firearms reliable when needed for the masses. It appears gun banners are searching for a way to undo that. The only problem we have is liberal politicians refuse to do their jobs of providing security for the law abiding. They force states to import a population known to oppose Americans and predestined to violence. They neglect to enforce gun violence laws so predators roam the cities. Then blame lawful gun owners. Why think they just want us to be safer? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
