In our society today the risk/reward for consumer goods is managed by the tort laws. When a fuel tank explodes in a car there is a lawsuit because of the injury.

We have reached the point with guns that there is no management of the risk/rewards for the gun industry. If the gun industry does not want child locks (it may add a few dollars to the cost) the NRA and the gun nuts trot out their mis-interpretation of the second amendment and the pols fall into place.

As there is no sanity in the pro-gun camp, the only sane position is to be against gun ownership.

Fortunately, I don't know a single person who owns a weapon. And most of them are highly intelligent people. There is simply no reason for a normal person to own a gun (and yes, IMO, that includes hunting animals, or displaying on a wall).
