Well, I'll tell ya what, I have never known a person who has reached their lifetime cap on insurance either, however, that is one of the reason the ACA was sold to us.......
Point being, because you don't know anyone who ever needed a gun, means nothing....
I guess my mom was braver than I thought. She made it 90 years and was never once frightened enough to carry a gun.
And I've never said there might not be times when you need a weapon. I have them at my homes and place of business.
I also have a permit and have utilized it on occasion.
But its utterly ludicrous to stroll through the Little League park or the local Walmart with an AR-15 strapped across your chest. That is simply provocative. It also works to the detriment of legitimate gun owners.
It means no one can disarm you during the course of a mugging and shoot you dead with your own weapon.
Wrong..... as you've already been told, the gun will work as long as it's range of the watch.

It means your 6-year-old can't pull your gun from your bedroom drawer while you're in the kitchen boiling spaghetti and accidentally shoot his little sister in the head.
Wrong again. If the watch is stored within range of the gun, a six year old could do just that.

The pro-gun crowd has long been adamant that widespread gun ownership is a godsend for society, provided guns remain in the hands of responsible, law-abiding citizens. With that in mind, you'd expect them to come out full force in support of smart gun technology, right?
Wrong. A lot of people have and own guns for self defense, so why would they want to have to rely on uintested and unproven technology in the event they needed it to work? The fact the NJ has exempted their police forces from having to use the smart gun once their law kicks in is quite telling. It says to me that they don't trust the tech enough to have police use it, so why should anyone else have to?

Is that why New Jersey Exempted their police from having to use "smart-guns" once their law kicks in to effect if it ever does? Because they love it so much? Or is it because they don't want to take the chance of putting one of their officers at risk by having to rely on the technology to work?
You get all police and military to convert to "smart-guns" and then I will to. But, if police and military are exempt, that tells me they don't trust the tech enough to work when needed, so why should I have to convert to it? Is my safety less important?

Yet you are younger than your mom....and you have used a gun...

Who stated anything about what you have stated above?
Here's the reality, the aim is not gun "control" but gun elimination. We dance around the semantics and use phrases like "common sense laws" and "for the children" but, bottom line, the goal is elimination.
Maybe it's your reality but it's just not true. Maybe some do but these are the extremists which we have on both sides, I might add.

You there are 109 women that will be raped today in America...Tell that to them...
Furthermore people like the fact people are free to that degree..it is their problem not ours..
Er, yeah, I have been mugged and I've been robbed at gunpoint. However, as I said before, having a gun wouldn't have prevented either of those events.
