Is It Time To Put Chips In Guns?

35. So a testing regime did its job?

Proving my point. It is always better to test something before implementation.

You still haven't answered why it is so unreasonable for me to ask for a device to be thoroughly tested before being mass produced? All I got was that "since we have done it in the past its okay to do it now".

So when did the gun industry become immune from all product liability suits? I don't recall that ever happening. Last time I checked I can still sue Remington for making a defective product that causes me injury. The PLCAA (the gun industry immunity legislation) only protects the industry from law suits brought due to criminal use of their products. Its similar to suing Anheiser-Busch because you drank 12 bud lights, got drunk, and fell off a ladder. The suits were designed to bankrupt the firearms industry. It is the same idea with all that "approved safe gun lists" many pro-gun control folks keep talking about. Do we have a problem with guns blowing up in the hands of their owners? Not that I know of. Guns if used properly are inherently safe to the user. the problem is that gun accidents occur due to negligence of the user- not the gun itself. Pointing a gun at someone else that you aren't serious about using the gun on is stupid irregardless if there is a loaded chamber indicator or not.
