@deviantollam@defcon.social @freediverx@mastodon.social I know very little about guns (and that comes from TV/movies, so a fair bit of what I know is wrong). But if I were designing gun safety I would borrow from cyber security, which I know a bit about. There is an idea of security in depth: just having password policies (for example) isn't enough. You would want a hardware token, and VPNs for remote login, and a way to audit activity to find if someone logged in who shouldn't have.
So with guns I might want safety training and safeties on guns and behavioural audits to check when retraining might be needed.

@Retreival9096@hachyderm.io @deviantollam@defcon.social I get where you're coming from, but that's like obsessing over the lock on your front door when a burglar could easily enter through a broken window. Anyone owning or using a gun should undergo basic gun safety training which centers around treating every gun as if loaded and never pointing it any anything or anyone you don't want to kill.
