thanks. Yeah I could accept triggerlocks as a means of solving the problem with handguns. I would still like to have local ability to ban assault weapons.

Is there data that you mentioned? Yes, it would matter. There is always a balance to be looked at, and to learn from previous well meaning restrictions.

I have a motor to build but here's what I got Googling:

AIRBAG STATISTICS Deaths in frontal crashes are reduced about 14 percent among right front passengers using their belts and about 23 percent among passengers without belts. However, deaths are about 34 percent higher than expected among child passengers younger than 10.
