Todays Brainstorm [View all]

Hey guys. I've never posted in this group, so thanks for your thoughts.

I had an idea about gun safety while mourning an 8 year old who died while playing with a gun in Little Rock. My soul hurts and my mind is trying to cope with lots of sad and emotional feelings.

What if guns were all sold in a safety case (like instrument cases) that had finger print locking. A chip could be placed on the weapon to connect it to a chip in the case.

The owner is registered in a database and they are responsible and accountable for the gun if it's opened.

I keep my guitar in a case, both to protect it and to keep my nieces from being popped by a broken string ( if you've ever been cut or stabbed by these strings, you know they could put an eye out).

They could be made light weight for "concern".

Not sure if this has been thought of before, but it seems like a reasonable action that can be taken.

I just feel helpless and want to make the world safer for our children.

It is reasonable. But too many gunners are opposed to registration, are too cheap Hoyt Sep 2018 #1
