trigger locks are only there to make it slower for someone with the key to open it. i work in a firearms store and routinely have to take trigger locks off hunting rifles because the person has left the key at home. takes me a max of 15 seconds to remove a trigger lock with a screwdriver, and the lock is still in useable condition.
so you are saying you want a gun you can leave laying willy nilly around the house and be safe for your child to pick up ?. sorry that screams fecking retard to me.
if you don't want your kids to accidentally use the gun. LOCK IT UP. there are handgun safes that are fast to open, or keep it holstered. i have been using firearms since i was 5. never has there been one left out where i could have played with it without supervision. anyone that leaves a firearm available for a child or anyone other than the legal owner to touch and play with is an idiot.
If it was designed for them, they would store them correctly to remove any chance of a child shooting someone. And with proper training somone is not going to have themselves disarmed and the gun used on them. So where is the need of a smart gun ?
Really a smart gun is a solution for idiots that dont know anything about firearms ownership or firearms training.
And do what about the anti gun people screaming for people to be killed for wanting to own guns ? Or perhaps the people wanting the bundy supporters killed by drone.
I rarely see LEGAL gun owners saying they want to see people killed. I see and hear it all the time coming from the anti gun people. Who comes off as violent when gun owners take abuse and insults and threats from anti's ?
Based on the description of someone in a hoody casing houses at night. i don't give a damn if the persons skin is red, white black yellow or freaking rainbow. if i see someone fitting the description of a person performing B&E's im going to follow the guy and find out what he/she/it is doing. to much of this political correct BS out there these days. to many people worried about offending someone else.
Martin was a shit rat plain and simple. he had been suspended numerous times for beating people senseless in school. bragged about it to his friends and gf, bragged about owning an illegal firearm.
Don't take for granted everything you see on the news and read in the news. if they are willing to edit a 911 audio tape to change what zimmerman said into something racist, they are more than willing to lie and leave out information. (like the pictures used a 12YO martin when he was actually 19 and had a good half foot on zimmerman, not to mention the physical body strength). but lets not let facts cloud peoples emotional idea's about this case.
im not sure id call being kicked out of his mothers house for violence at school a "resident" of the gated community. he was there only because he had nowhere else to go.
i really dont see a problem with harassing someone casing houses at 2am in a gated community that has had a history of B & E's. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but id rather offend people and keep my home and others safe than let people do whatever and have my house or someone elses broken into.
there was no racial profiling. Zimmerman saw someone in a black hoodie. he said he THOUGHT the guy was black but wasn't sure. you will also note. that zimmerman will be going to court with i believe msnbc for their part in doctoring the 911 call to make it sound like he was profiling.
that and the phone record from martins girlfriend of the time with him using racial slurs towards zimmerman and telling him he was going to die. but zimmerman is the bad guy for defending himself.
and Martin was close to 6' tall a football player, and experienced street thug who enjoyed beating people into the ground. Zimmerman was a shorter 5'6" and overweight, and no experience in hand to hand combat.
by the logic here. a woman of 5'2" would get reamed for shooting a killing a rapist who was bigger and stronger than her.
the Designer claims it fires the nails at 9000 Feet Per Second. i asked him to verify that as a 556 nato round is only going 3500 FPS at most. and firing a 556 in a room like that would be dangerous with a steel projectile as it would ricochet around the room.
Do you have a spare tire in your car ? Do you have a fire extinguisher in your house ? Me personally, I have never had to use nore seen a fire extinguisher used. And in 20 years of driving only had to use a spare once. Does that mean I don't need those tools around should I need them ? Hell no. So id like to have the tools at hand to defend myself even if I haven't been mugged or had my home broken into.
Because the 17 year old thug was slamming his head into the cement while straddling him. The "kid" was also half a foot taller than zimmerman and had multiple run ins with police for violent behavior.
not just that. but TM was 19, and half a foot taller than GZ. was also involved in fight club style fighting and a football player. likely in much better shape than a 28 year old that is overweight.
Except GZ didn't initiate anything with TM. he followed someone in a neighborhood that has had multiple break ins. Sorry, but depending on how TM was walking at 2am with his hoodie up would make most people want to follow that person to see what they were up to. If he was walking with confidence back straight id not take a second look. Someone walking all hunched up looking at the houses he was passing would make me slow down and take a look likely call 911 and report them. would i follow them ? maybe depending on their actions. if as soon as they saw my car coming they sped up or took off running. id see if i could locate them. If they stopped and looked at me id likely pull up and talk to that person ask them what they were up to that the neighborhood has had some break ins and i was just seeing who they were. but like always hind sight is 20/20 everyone is a genius when they look back on a situation or look at a situation (armchair quarterbacks backseat drivers ect). if they ran off between some houses i may get out to get the house numbers to report to 911. if said suspect attacked me on my way back to the vehicle is that self defense on their part ? fuck no. That is assault. if that person pinned me on the ground and started beating my head into the ground and punching me in the face id sure as shit shoot them if i was armed. if i wasn't armed id likely be dead. the human head cant take many hard blows before it is lethal.
Good 'ol obama is REALLY trying to make this a hate crime. whats Obama going to do if the Civil rights charges don't stick ? label GZ as a terrorist and run him out of the country ?
There is also a difference between a 911 operator and an actual police officer. a 911 operator will tell people not to shoot the axe wielding maniac hacking down someones door. no one has to listen to a 911 operator they are not a police officer. And as stated there is a difference between "Stop following the suspect" and "we dont need you to continue following him sir".
just because someone has a lot of guns means nothing to their mental state. someone could own 200 so called "Assault rifles" and never shoot more than paper. just as someone who owns no legal firearms couldn't go out and buy one off the street and kill everyone in a McDonald's.
The Number and type of firearms someone owns really is a moot point. the gunman from sandy hook (i refuse to give his name more air time) didn't own any guns himself. he blew his mothers face off getting her guns. she allowed him to take her guns to the range. but was also trying to get him mental help and kept getting denied. she really shouldn't have let him anywhere near them, but he would have gotten the guns he needed no matter what. it was just easier to kill his mother to get hers than to go and try and buy one on the black market. he could have just as easily gone to "visit" one of the people from the gun range and killed them for their guns.
the main issue here is mental health and gangs. if we could separate the numbers into gang related, suicide, legal gun owners, and police shootings. Im pretty sure suicide and gang crime firearm deaths would be far higher than legal gun owners.
the govt told gun stores to sell to known straw purchasers saying "they were tracking them", and later told said gun store owners they would shut them down if they went to the press about it.
they couldn't have "tracked" the guns without them in their possession.
in my views ordering gun stores to sell to known straw purchasers that have ties to Mexican drug gangs, then threatening the gun stores when the govt realized they couldn't track said guns IS supplying the gangs with guns. plain and simple.
Problem with that gun they printed. Judging by the round sitting next to it. It fires 22 shorts or cb caps. Not much better than a pellet rifle coming out of a rifle. Be about as good as a pea shooter coming out of a pistol with a inch long barrel.
So they think someone who was sick enough in the head to kill his own mother, and then kill 20 + small children with multiple gunshots each wouldn't be sick enough to cut someones fingers off to unlock said gun ?
These companies proposing these things think they are dealing with sane and rational people with their technology. it all falls to pieces when they are dealing with someone that will stop at nothing to do what they want. the guy in question obliterated his mothers face with a 22.lr why would he stop and think "oh damn the gun is keyed to her finger prints i cant do it anymore" no he is going to think "hmmm il just kill her. cut off a finger and we are good to go"
Glocks don't need a manual safety, the gun is designed so that when the trigger is at rest, there is a block that comes up and holds the firing pin from moving, the firing pin is also not cocked back until the trigger is pulled back (works like a Revolver). the trigger is the safety, the trigger is a 2 piece trigger, both parts need to be pulled for it to move. Glock handguns are a very safe design of handgun.

Someone would likely cry profiling on a sting like that. and more than likely win with the legal systems in the states and canada.
there was no racial profiling. Zimmerman saw someone in a black hoodie. he said he THOUGHT the guy was black but wasn't sure. you will also note. that zimmerman will be going to court with i believe msnbc for their part in doctoring the 911 call to make it sound like he was profiling.

sure. the higher ups had nothing to do with it that's why Obama pulled strings to get holder off the hook.
you need to read up on it then.

they didn't say they WEREN'T going to give your name out either. unless someone says they wont do something, you can pretty much bet they will do it.
