Title: Will "smart gun" technology make firearms safer?

Smart pistols have been developed by some German Company, in order to make policeman safer and making users of the firearm more secure. This gun can only work with both the watch and the gun, as the watch transmits a signal to the gun in order to shoot, and if the gun is 40cm apart from the watch the gun is going to lock itself. This aim to make a device like this is to make firearms safer, but in some places like America, this "smart gun" tech is proving to be controversial. A survey have been produced by the National shooting sports Foundation, and 74% of the 1200 respondents, said that they would not buy this smart gun, they all believed that this smart gun would affect a very small percentage of gun violence. They are now proposing another device called the Identilock which is basically fingerprint technology on guns.

All in all i think that this device is going to help a lot in regarding the safety of the user of the gun, as you can be in some kind of situations like, if you are a policeman and a thief or thug stole this smart gun from you, you won't be in harms way as he cannot fire this particular weapon. This i think made the gun really safe for the user and can help a lot when tough situations occur. This should be highly promoted in the USA, as a lot of guns incident have happened there.

The Nigerian Nation's emergency management agency says that at least 118 have died from the bombing that took place the Nigerian City of jos, there has been no other attacks since April 14th, that's when a bus stop was attacked. The first blast took place near a busy market, which local woman love to shop at, which making the 118 remains mostly woman. The second attack took place near a Hospital, and over 56 people were injured in these blasts. No party of any sort have admitted that they have done these terrible deed. Also the intervals between the blasts was 30 mins making some of the injured are the medics and rescue worker sent to help the survivors. Today, the parliament approved a half-year extension of the emergency status in these three states - Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. All in all more than 1000 people have been killed by attacks all over the country.

I think that this is a terrible thing to happen in the world, as these things goes on, like terrorist attacks and such, it makes us realize that we are not safe even with our door locked. Monthly 1000s of people are dying in the country, its a huge number considering its population, the government should really do something to change this fact, as if it get worse, the whole country could fall into years of depression and violence, as citizens tries to get control of the country. All in all this incident is a tragic one and it should be remembered, also the government of this country must do something about this incident, or else its just going to get worse.
