So, I have this great technical solution to make all guns safe. It's kind of a hacker solution, actually. Also, it will also prevent anyone that hasn't been fiddling with their gun to shoot other people.
The solution is simple. Put an infrared camera on the front of the gun. If there's anything warm in front of the gun it simply wont fire. That will make it impossible to shoot other people and only limitting it to cans etc. Possibly you could also use a real camera and do some image analysis to keep the gun from shooting other sensitive objects, such as gas containers etc. Obviously, the firing of the gun will be locked if you take the camera(s) off.
Okay, I admit it. I'm not being serious. A gun is a weapon. The fact that guns are weapons is the problem. There's no technical solution for that.
The only technical solution that will make a gun safe is one that destroys that weapon.
