(3,547 posts)that the money is better spent elsewhere. Good idea on paper, not in the real world. The problem is also that "your side" ignores the obvious flaws in the technology. the problem is you think any objections to this technology are purely that of ideology. I can see that you don't even realize that gun manufacturers aren't ideologically against gun control- just some of it (they are supportive of universal background checks).
No there isn't a market for the product. Why is that? Is it because gun owners are anti-safety? Or is it because gun owners have questions with the practicality of the technology and reliability of it? Wouldn't the best way to counteract alot of this argument with R&D? yes. the problem is that your method of getting this R&D uses the gun owning community at large as a guinea pig by mandating it on all new guns.
Here's an idea- if you want to increase development of this technology require police and military weapons be fitted with it. You could prove to the public how safe and reliable the weapons are that way and also you would have a large pool of "test subjects".
