WOOT! another gun thread.
This 'new safety' sounds like an honest attempt to sabotage gun control advocates who want to cut down on head wounds in political figures (Brady, Giffords, Dwyer, Kennedy I, and Kennedy II.) It could be a move to increase gun sales by adding more complexity to a rather simple killing heat engine and so fool the buyers into thinking they'll be more safe. I wish them well.
It might reduce the 2% (nod to rasetsu's data) but not the majority of firearm deaths in the US as 2 out of 3 of them are suicides. It may be possible that these could be reduced in that someone really drunk or depressed may not remember they need the watch. We'll need data on that. The goal of reducing the 2% which is largely the children of the owners is seen as laudable, but I'd rather see them removed from the gene pool.
The increased system complexity will increase the number of failure modes resulting in a reduced suicide reliability. This is undesired in that the reduced reliability will reduce the number of successful suicides of gun owners. Perhaps, and I so hope, they will reject the design and stick to their older, simpler, tried and true, methods.
Nice shot Bud.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
