I have an easy fix for that. Should you want to fire the gun, you hold it, and it tests your DNA, using your own blood. If it doesn't match, there's not a chance.
That, or an implant. Your call.

And pigs are going to fly, the cows are coming home, monkeys will fly outta your butt and hell is going to freeze over.
Ok, a monkey may well fly outta your butt. What you do in the privacy of your own home is your business...who am I to judge.
The rest? I'm skeptical.

Fine, just don't try to mandate them. Choice is a good thing.

The NRA, and people like you, refuse the let the Free Market work:
"It's not just a question of lack of demand," said Adam Winkler, a UCLA law professor who focuses on the Second Amendment and gun control. "There's very strong opposition to smart-gun tech in the gun world."
That's because a vocal contingent of gun owners see smart guns as a potential form of gun control. They've raised concerns, Winkler said, that if such guns gain a foothold, the technologies behind them could become a requirement for all guns, resulting in a ban on sales of traditional guns. Those fighting against smart guns need only point to a New Jersey law passed in 2002 called the Childproof Handgun Act. It mandates that three years after smart guns become available for sale anywhere in the country, Jersey gun dealers sell only smart guns.
Such concerns led to customer boycotts of gun manufacturers, including Colt and Smith & Wesson, when they pursued smart-gun technology. Gun dealers who have considered selling such firearms have been boycotted too. One Maryland dealer even faced death threats when he attempted to offer smart guns. Currently, there are no US gun dealers who stock smart guns."

Voices Against Violence: Kai Kloepfer

Voices Against Violence: Kai Kloepfer
November 2, 2015 - In this epidemic of shootings, the country is looking for solutions, and CBS News is listening to a variety of ideas to end the bloodshed. In a series being called, "Voices Against Violence," CBS News is asking people to give their views on gun violence.
Kai Kloepfer was just 15 years old when 12 people were killed while watching a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" at an Aurora, Colorado movie theater in July 2012. Kloepfer is from Boulder, 45 minutes from where the massacre took place, and was shaken by the tragedy. "It was something that deeply impacted not only me, but the Colorado community as a whole," said Kloepfer.
Kai Kloepfer working on his smart gun
At the time, Kloepfer was preparing for the the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair and needed a project to enter the competition. Inspired by the shooting, he decided to focus on decreasing gun violence. During his research for the fair, he came across a startling statistic from the Children's Defense Fund. "I learned that every 30 minutes in the United States on average a child dies or is injured by a firearm," said Kloepfer.

He has since spent the past three years developing smart gun technology that would prevent a gun from being fired by anyone other than the owner. The technology works by requiring fingerprint authorization for the gun to work. Only the fingerprint of the gun owner will unlock the firearm. "This means that unauthorized people -- such as children finding a firearm in their house, or teenagers looking to commit suicide -- are unable to access firearms that are owned by other people such as their parents," Kloepfer told CBS News.
Kloepfer currently has a plastic prototype of the firearm -- the next step is to actually start manufacturing the technology in a live metal firearm. "My dream for this technology is to have it in every gun store across the country." Kloepfer says the response he's gotten, from police officers to veterans to victims of gun violence, has been overwhelmingly positive. A self-proclaimed innovator who has worked on many other engineering projects, he says this one is the one that matters most to him. "When I started working on this, it was something that consumed almost every waking moment of my day. All in an effort to get this developed as fast as possible and get it to the point of having it out there saving lives."

The "no" reason is a lot of dead people, many of them children, and a few cops, killed when they shouldn't have been. But I know, you couldn't care less how many die, as long as you can still play with your deadly toys...

Enjoy your black-shiny-metal masturbation-fest for those unable to be real men without firearms strapped to them. Your time will soon end.
