The NRA is an organization run by psychotic thugs to benefit their
sponsors, the firearms industry. They're against anything and everything
that they perceive might harm their sponsors' corporate profits,
including safer firearms.


Personally, I wouldn't have any objection to owning a "safe" gun. I
think it's actually a pretty good idea. I think I'd still want to have
a traditional handgun as well however, mainly for home defense
situations where fast and easy access to a functioning firearm could
save a life. My guns are kept in safes that require a code to open and
that's where they are stored most of the time. But at night I have one
hidden but within arm's reach from my bed. That's what it's for.

Based on what I've read the NRA is not opposed to safe guns either. What
the NRA is opposed to is *mandating* the implementation of such
technology across the board and making it required on *all* guns.

The kooks that are threatening gun dealers if they offer firearms
equipped with "safe" technology are simply that .... uneducated, low IQ
kooks that do not represent the NRA's position or the position of most
responsible gun owners.




I don't have any issues with the manufacture and sale of so-called "safe
guns," nor do I have any issues with states that try to tighten up
firearms safety laws.

Maryland now requires purchasers of regulated firearms, such as
handguns, to obtain a Handgun Qualification License. For most buyers,
that will require a little firearms safety training (there are ways to
be exempted), electronic fingerprinting, and a check by the staties of
NICS and several other sources for criminal records. Then, when you buy
a handgun, you have to fill out the federal form and the state form,
have another NICS check, and wait seven working days while the staties
check you out again. No biggie, any of it.

Of course you can circumvent that by driving over to a Virginia gun show
and buying whatever you want out without even bothering with the instant
NICS check.

As for the NRA, my comment stands. It is an organization run by
psychotic thugs. Wayne LaPierre is crazy.
