  • A comment on Conversation: Solving gun violence in the US in today's insane political climate requires a solution that makes it painless for everyone.

    Feb 10 2013: I shall attempt to give my few cents of thought about your post. I wholeheartedly agree with you on the ideas of more responsibility of gun owners in terms of keeping up with the interactions of their gun and I also agree with your idea of locks on the guns themselves. The only fault I see in your logic is the kill switches. Who is deemed powerful enough to control these kill switches? The owner themselves or an anonymous government agency that allows people to sit in swivel chairs to have access to the guns of all registered fire arms owners. I think it would be a great idea to allow owners to be responsible for the kill switch of their gun. This allow greater ownership and as Uncle Ben said, "With great power comes great responsibility."
