Horrible question towards the bottom of the page: Can tech make guns safer?

This question assumes that all guns are safe. Vote now.

ARChoo,

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are they asking if technology can make guns safer?

I would say that they are assuming that all guns are NOT safe.

I think any way you look at it you lose on this one.

If you say no you are saying that guns are unsafe.

If you say yes you are saying that guns are unsafe.

Am I missing something here? Not sure how I would vote on this one. [:\]

It's a trick question.

Boycott the poll.

I think the question they are trying to ask is:

Should technology be used in guns to make them all safe?

They are saying that guns are unsafe.  They just want some public opinion ammo to help force 'smart guns' on everyone.  It is a push poll.  VOTE NO just to say that guns are a bit dangerous no matter what technology is used, and we'd prefer to keep them simple and reliable.
