The Attack on the 2nd Amendment Continues

So long as we don't have the predetermined outcome that previous CDC officials stated was the objective, then there would be no issue.

Instead, CDC officials publicly stated that their goals in research were to "systematically build a case against firearms."

As soon as the intent is to be objective and let the findings follow the research -- like Galileo or Copernicus would -- then you'll see this kind of thing go away.

I've heard of such rumblings about the 'advocacy research' portion, but have seen no evidence. Funny thing is the extreme side of the gun lobby will likely make such claims regardless of who does the research. I don't care what some folks are scared of, let the research happen and see where it leads. For a supposedly 'smart' country we sure do like to be an ignorant bunch at times.

And yes, I say this as a gun owner. I'm not fearful of losing my guns, but I also want common sense changes to how we do things in regards to buying/selling of guns. Clearly something is broken be it education (primary), gun education (lack thereof), societal structure, laws, technology, job opportunity, mental health access, etc.

edit to add: did a search and found this quote, “We’re going to systematically build a case that owning firearms causes deaths. We’re doing the most we can do, given the political realities.” from a supposed CDC official around the mid nineties. I did pull this quote from at least a partially biased source ( http://drgo.us/?p=1134 ) so I'm not sure of the veracity. Just like we shouldn't broad brush gun owners with criminality, we shouldn't sink the CDC because of a guy who worked there 20 years ago. Heck, skip the CDC and give the grant money to a consortium of universities if it is that big of a deal. Just stop leaving science out of the equation.

Actually that can be part of the long game and divide and conquer technique. In the end it will make guns safer.

Say the gun manufacturers are required to put these safeties on weapons. They can then get more money for the guns as it has to have the product they make on it that makes it safer. They would be for something that can increase their bottom line while the gun owners will hate something like that.

oh, so just like with the iphone where touch id doesnt work sometimes and then you have to enter in your passcode....what if you need to use the gun and it doesnt register your fingerprint?
 
I would be very interested in "Smart gun" technology that actually worked and was cost-efficient.

Good products will naturally find a market.

Unfortunately, this is vaporware currently.

What happens if you need your weapon and it fails to fire now?

I am confident that a higher quality finger scan device can be made than is currently on your iphone for your gun.

If that were true you would have a monopoly on gun sales to the single largest gun consumer in the United States outside the military (California).

They and other states have legislation demanding that once gun ID software demonstrates effective availability all their agencies have to transition to it.

Yeah like the 100mpg carburetor or the engine that burns water the "evil corporations" are keeping that from happening.

Since you are of incapable of thinking for yourself, let alone taking care of yourself, then you should certainly move to a country with a parliamentary representative democratic constitutional monarchy with strong socialistic leanings/characteristics and which are countries with enormous welfare and tax burdens.

If Denmark were one of the US states, it would rank tenth among the poorest states for per capita GDP. Finland- would come in fifth among the poorest if it were a US state and Sweden would be the seventh-poorest as a state of the US. Citizens classified as “low income” in the US live better than those classified as low income in the EU – including Denmark, Sweden and Finland. The US also ranked higher in average dwelling space and domestic appliance ownership (clothes washers, dishwashers, radios, etc.).

Let us know when you need help packing your bags.

Funny, if you are going to copy word for word these facts you should at least link where you get it from...

Your statements come from a report from Timbro which is, well here is their Wikipedia page....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbro

I am sure the facts from the report were post on various right leaning sites that you cut and copied from.

Once again, and not surprisingly, you are wrong, as usual, hun. The info came from here - one source and not wiki. Unfortunately, due to the filters here, there is a word in the link after bull (starts with s and ends with t which ironically enough, also pretty much describes all of your posts) so the link cannot post/work correctly here and that's why I left it out after trying to link it earlier.
