Smart Guns

 Since the Sandy Hook shooting back in December, gun control has become a more prominent issue that has been showing up all over the media. A new type of gun may make the risk of deadly shootings a lot less likely to occur, by using a smart gun. Smart Guns "fire only when a certain magnetic ring [our watch] is in contact with the handle. So, if you don't have the ring, you can't shoot the gun".

  So you may be wondering why these type of guns would be beneficial. First, it would prevent the mentally ill and children from taking a family members gun. Also, for police officers, it would prevent their gun being taken and being used against them. 

According to NBC news, each year, "600 people are killed in accidental shootings. Some say putting this technology in the gun won't stop every gun death, but could save lives". Just the fact that some lives could be saved is why this technology for guns should be implemented to prevent future shootings like Sandy Hook from happening again.
