That being said, are we really convinced that this will stop mass shootings? If anything, sick fucks who commit mass shootings will just choose an easier target, i.e. a mall. Then what? Metal detectors in malls?
BINGO, there are millions of soft targets, like the Vegas shooter, and Roof and the theater shooter.
Even outside the issue of firearms, the Takata(sp) air bag company fucked itself by not having proper protocol and got greedy. That greed cost them lawsuits which meant the bad product ended up costing future consumers more. Same with Boeing. Instead of insuring the plane's computer system had enough redundancy and the pilots had enough training, they rushed the product out. Two crashes, and you know those families are going to rightfully sue, and again, that drives up the cost of air travel.
It is simply going to be cheaper long term for the firearm industry to stop selling their "free for all" crap and scaring people to sell their products.
