Gun manufacturers, like car manufactures, should be forced to include available safety technology on all new firearms.

You cannot buy a car that doesn't have seat belts and you should be able to buy a firearm that does not have a lock and safety devises to restrict thieves and children from using it.

You know the gun manufacturers are the only consumer industry NOT covered by the Consumer Protection Agency. Absolutely no reason for that oversight.

selling guns with locks is not the problem, what do you do about the people that decide NOT to use the locks? besides they are a feel good measure anyway, just like the so called "assault weapons ban". it didnt do any thing to combat crime, even though the gun grabbers touted it highly.

again you are trying to tackle the issue from the wrong end.

Default What NEW gun laws would stop shootings?

No gun law will help, it's a mental illness problem and until that is addressed nothing will change.

Most new guns are sold with various types of trigger/action locks. If one wants to buy one separately for an older gun they're less than $10.

Make every loaner white guy who is over 25, still living with their mother, take a psychological test before allowing to live in a home with firearms! Problem solved!

Guns are required by federal law to be sold with locks.

you still have that pesky second amendment to deal with, and unless that person you describe has been adjudicated as being mentally defective, you cannot deny him the right to own a firearm.

Then the USA has the highest number of mentally ill people in the world. The massacre of innocents by mental folks is more common in America.

Comparing a Muslim terrorist to a mentally ill person that is a gun enthusiast is not in the same universe.

NY Times found that 50 percent of the guns in mass shootings were acquired legally. So the gun nuts need to change their tune about it's criminals with illegal guns.
