Gun Control & RKBA

I didn't object, I pointed out that, UNLIKE biometrics an RFID device can be taken along with the gun. For example, I break into a house while the owners are away, and in nightstand drawer there's the gun and the ring/fob/bracelet. Now I have both and can use the gun. The point is, the gun is tied to the RFID chip, not my distinct person.

RFID is pretty reliable; in fact many gun saves use them in lieu of a combination or keyed mechanical lock.



Most of the technologies you mention were already in existence, they simply were not standard. Nobody had to "invent" seatbelt technology, foil-sealing technology, or plastic-molding technology. Even airbags were not initially mandated; the Federal reg simply said that cars had to have an automatic restraint system after a certain date. Most car makers satisfied that requirement with the "mad mouse" automated shoulder seatbelt. The technology to make airbags work properly took a few years to develop and incorporate into cars.

And in fact, about 30 years ago safety became a big factor in a lot of products and manufacturers routinely exceed federal standards and even add new safety features to cars of their own initiative.



Except that several states have safety standards for guns. Also, gun makers routinely if rarely recall firearms because of design or manufacturing errors, and of course are liable in civil court. In fact, if you scroll down the Gungeon page (it might be on page 2 now) there's a post from me noting safety recall for a S&W handgun.


Damn, lunch break is over. Well, I'll pick this up tonight probably.
