At least one mother of a victim is claiming that the manufacturer of the gun used to kill the victims of Sandy Hook should have installed a safety device, called a biometric lock, which could have prevented the gun from being used by Lanza, since that device would prevent a gun from being fired by anyone other than its licensed owner.

Just FYI....no gun maker sells guns with "biometric locks". Such a lawsuit is a complete waste of the court's time and is frivolous by definition. It is akin to suing a vehicle manufacturer for not installing a breathalyzer on a dwi car...and breathalyzers actually exist....

Are there actually any real liability claims denied because of this, or is it just another non issue to pretend about?
