This gun jammer is going to kill people, then they will sue Mike Worley, 'inventor of the safety bullet'.
How many of those homes include homes such as mine - where the loaded firearm, sans "safety device on it," is secured away from the children but accessible to the adults?
I think you need to provide cites for your statistics. You are beginning to sound like a shill from HCI/VPC/MMM/Brady Campaign.
The NRA (I hate to admit it) has managed to reduce firearms-related injuries and deaths over the last ten years through EDUCATION AND TRAINING. I have problems with your statistics and want to know where you got them from and how they break down. For instance are the following included in your numbers:
- accidental police shootings?
- accidental discharges by criminals?
- training-related accidens among police, military and civilians?
- accidents associated with moronic behavior? (My term, included are the idiots who forget to empty a firearm before cleaning, accidental discharges during loading of the firearm, etc...)
- legitimate shootings mis-classified as "accidental"?
- criminal shootings used to inflate the statistics?
Understand that your product will NOT have any effect on reducing the above-mentioned types of "accidents"
Also understand that firearms are intended to be dangerous (to the target) when used properly and can be dangerous to the user when used improperly, therefore there is a given amount of danger involved.
Making a firearm as safe as possible can be done in two ways:
1) unload it; or
2 USE IT PROPERLY
The first option makes the firearm useless for it's intended function. The latter is the only true way to make a firearm safer for the user while still being able to make it perform it's intended function.
Your product basically falls under the first option - and it will get people killed. The wrong people.
Get a good insurance policy.
