That said, I wish we could figure out a technological apparatus that people wouldn't be reticent to use but was effective in ensuring unauthorized (criminals as well as children) users weren't able to use them.
I am flattered everyone, thank you.

That being said, as an aside, I think our best strategy for tackling the majority of gun violence is to start by tackling the drug problem in the US, since gang bangers are responsible for many deaths, especially among teens.

I also think we need to come down hard on criminals that use guns (as in an additional penality for committing a crime AND using a gun).
