MIT freshman tries to save lives with smart guns

[doc03]

6. Why would you oppose research on such a gun? Maybe they will develop

a gun that will function reliably and won't cost a fortune with research. That's like the anti-science argument the
Republicans use on everything, they want to shut down research on climate change because they may not like the results.
If smart guns are not tested of course they would always be a ghastly piece of crap. I remember back in the 60s the
auto industry was opposed to seat belts and all sorts of scenarios were brought up about being unconscious and unable to
get the belt off and oh the cost will break us. The tobacco industry came up with all the same bullshit. Wouldn't it be great if a cop's life would be saved because the bad guy that took his weapon was unable to shoot him? What about the intruder in someone's home that tries to kill them with their own gun and it won't fire. Well agreed they will be a ghastly piece of crap like you say if someone
doesn't at least research the idea. Now the NRA has no problem if they do research on a gun that fires ammo at a faster rate
or bullets that are more destructive.
