The true issue with guns is bullet quantity over time.
Rather than attempt to restrict gun types or ammo, this petition seeks to require gun manufacturers to build in a time-delay of eight seconds, that cannot be tampered with, into all commercially sold guns.
If a hunter cannot take down his game after 3 shots, he needs the 8 seconds to re-think his hunting strategy.
Three bullets is also enough for "self-defense".
If an assailant cannot fire a 4th bullet for 8 seconds, bystanders can use that time to tackle him.
Such a mandate removes any concerns over banning assault weapons and clip capacity.
A retrofit-kit for existing weapons, perhaps with a financial incentive, would be more palatable than gun buy-back programs.
