All right, to keep in the spirit of furthering ideas on the issue of decreasing guns used for crime or negligent death and injury (remember, this is not a thread for debating the banning of guns); how about as technology for smart guns become more advanced, require manufacturers to make that an integral part of the feature?

I am not sure of the technology that would enable this to come about, but if sensors or some kind of combination, or whatever, could be added to the gun so that only the person to whom the gun was registered and sold to could fire it, then I think that could make an impact on gun use for crimes or accidental shootings.
Interesting idea. How about one of those fingertip reader devices. I've seen these used on laptops and well as employment time clocks, etc.

One could easily have their finger on the gun while it reads.

But then we bring into the picture the problem of hackers... :eek:
