The Firearm Industry Is Finding Solutions While Others Point Fingers

Acoalition of mayors recently gathered to discuss violent crime prevention in their cities. Only 10 of America's many mayors chair this group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), which is part of Michael Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety gun control group. At their latest summit, the coalition ratified its position that the firearm and ammunition industry is unwilling to take steps to reduce gun violence.

The problem is that MAIG's position simply is not grounded in reality.

Efforts to paint the firearm industry as irresponsible are part of well-established narratives that dominate certain political ecosystems and the punditry of select cable news channels. There is no doubt that cities across the nation, like Kansas City, Mo., experience persistent violent crime. But fervent claims that the American businesses manufacturing firearms directly cause gun violence are based on rhetoric, not reality.

Notice Newsweek uses Kanasa City as an example of “persistent violent crime” rather than a large Democrat city like Chicago. Still I’m surprised it’s Newsweek.

[Alas Babylon!]

I do not want my gun maker coming up with high-tech solutions that add extra complexity and points of failure to the weapons I need, especially when I’m waking up abruptly and groggy in a middle of the night, no shi’ite emergency with my and my families lives at stake.

What would the equivalent of a stick-shift be on a firearm?
