I absolutely see your point. If I'm living by myself and I want to put bleach in my pepsi clear bottle and rat poison in my aspirin bottle, that's fine. I just better know that I'm responsible if I have people in my house to warn them or make them inaccessible. Especially if it's kids were talking about. Same goes with a pink gun. Having a pink gun you must know that a child seeing it seeing it as a toy is more likely, and act accordingly.

Once again we have a list of morons blaming the gun, not the person who left it in reach.

At least not a pink gun that is accessible to said child. There's just no reason though to ban me, who has no kids, from owning a gun painted to look like spider mans costume or whatever else I want. I like having the freedom to express myself through my guns paint job if I choose to. Now if I leave a gun, pink or not, in a place where kids get it, I deserve to rot in jail.edit on 5-2-2013 by danneu89 because: grammeredit on 5-2-2013 by danneu89 because: more grammar, I'm terrible today

Maybe I watch too many sci-fi movies, but I wonder how long it will be before gun manufacturers get the bright idea of implementing fingerprint identification on their weapons ?
This way, only the person who's fingerprint ID is encoded can activate the gun to fire.
Accidental shootings would become a thing of the past.

That has already been suggested by the Obama administration. Inventing a feature on all weapons that detect if the person that's using it is the person that bought it. I don't have time to find the source, but I heard it on the news.
I can't imagine what that would do to the cost of guns, and since guns last for upwards of 100 years if taken care of, what happens to all of the old ones? It will be forever until they're phased out

They in a way already do it's called a "magna trigger" it's an internal lock that can only be disengaged via a coded ring. It's not perfect I guess someone can take your special ring.
