How many women have you seen try to operate a SAO like a 1911a? One? Two?
I would say my years as a gun salesman gave me just a BIT more experience observing women handling guns.
For a guy who doesn't know a patch box from a powder horn (you proved you didn't) I think I probably know a bit more about guns than you.

Many adults (women mostly) do not have the hand strength to operate the slide. Thus the gun is not capable of firing.
But don't listen to people who really know guns - listen to the people with emotionally charged and largely fact free stories...
Rampant enotionalism is always better for decision making than logic.
You’re missing the point. Leaving a pistol within reach that a child can’t fire is utterly and completely not the issue.
But there ARE people who allow children access to weapons they CAN fire. And what generally happens to these people is...nothing. I’m suggesting that making examples out of a few of them by enforcing the law might just possibly reduce the number of children killing their siblings and playmates.

I can't say I disagree with you. The problem is we keep getting new laws from the worst possible source - people who hate and do not understand firearns. Laws passed in a panic of emotionalisn - that do little - and as you note- rarely get enforced.
