In the United States alone, there are 1.5 million homes where a gun is kept loaded, but not locked up, in households where there are children. 25 percent of gun-owning American parents with a child who has attempted suicide, said they nonetheless do not intend to lock up their guns.

The Smartgun’s time has come

Existing gun manufacturers have failed to launch any ‘Smartgun’ models, despite long-standing claims about having such weapons ‘on the drawing boards’ Existing manufacturers have believed their customers (for new guns) may revolt at a ‘Smartgun’

Existing guns:

• More than 600 million guns worldwide
• More than 235 million guns in the U.S.
• Approximately 87 million handguns in the U.S.
• Approximately 22 million handguns in Europe

New guns:

• About 5.3 million guns are sold in the U.S. each year
• About 1.8 million handguns are sold in the U.S. each year
