According to the recent @ChildDefender report, each day in America, 8 children and teens are killed or injured in accidental shootings involving an improperly stored gun. This is why we need true childproofing through personalized guns and locks. https://t.co/dMO3GBH9wS

Suicide is an impulsive act, 90% of survivors do not go on to die by suicide, but having a gun changes the equation. Guns are used in 51% of suicide deaths, but solutions, such as #PersonalizedFirearms, could save lives, especially for children and youth. https://t.co/kNtm5CBFT3

.@DICKS CEO Ed Stack speaking with @opinion_joe “I think the idea of a #SmartGun is great. I’ve told a couple of the people who are working on them if you bring it to market, and we think the technology has been perfected, we’ll stock them.” https://t.co/oEdOeFILsG

In addition to the tragic loss of life, gun violence costs the US $229 billion a year according to a report from the US Joint Economic Committee. Providing incentives to develop #GunSafetyTechnology could save lives with a fraction of this staggering cost. https://t.co/xNq5t4DcjN

Embracing #GunSafetyTechnology is one way we can cut back on accidental and unintentional shootings while reducing the market for stolen guns through #PersonalizedFirearms that can't be used by anyone but the owner. https://t.co/IzCIou8tsw

.@AndrewYang on personalized guns: "if the child gets ahold of the gun then they can’t do anything with it, then it just becomes a very heavy, expensive prop." We need this technology now! https://t.co/LJsL9HfGQZ

[SmartTechFoundation @SmartTechFDN]

We agree with @AndrewYang, child deaths due to firearms are all too common. We can do more to reduce these tragedies, bringing personalized #SmartGuns to market is one solution that can help. https://t.co/czYpNpmb5X
