Yeah, I should have noted as a caveat that fingerprint technology is still kinda ass, but it's a worthy developmental goal, and it's just a good general example of making weapons more secure.

I mean, people talk all the time about how gun control is useless because people steal guns etc. which does have a grain of truth to it. The Sandy Hook shooter, for example, stole the weapon he used from his mom (i think?) before he shot her. Wouldn't have been an issue if a reliable fingerprint or some other technology locked him out. Moving past gun control stigma and funding R&D into these fields should be something we work towards.


Storage is a big deal. The chance that there is some domestic fatality or injury involving a firearm skyrockets when you bring a legally purchased gun into the home. Most people are responsible, but it's also true that the occurrence of accidents is just too high. I mean it sounds like your practice is pretty safe and reasonable, but there are people obviously not even taking the steps you are, which should change.
