{"product_id":"9780309089753","title":"Owner-Authorized Handguns","description":"The feasibility and potential impact of so-called smart handguns has generated considerable public interest and debate. This report summarizes a June 2002 workshop at the National Academy of Engineering that examined three related issues: the state of technology for owner-authorized handguns; the role of product liability in the development and marketing of such firearms; and the potential impact of these smart guns on health and crime. Smart-gun technology has the potential to prevent unintended or undesirable uses of handguns, such as accidental shootings; the shooting of police officers by assailants using the officers' own weapons; suicides; homicides with stolen handguns; and other gun-related crimes. However, information presented at the workshop suggests that considerably more research is needed to bring a reliable and commercially viable product to the marketplace. The report also notes that the impact of smart-guns will be influenced by legal issues, human behavior, economic conditions, and other factors.","brand":"Steering Committee for NAE Workshop on User-Authorized Handguns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47451705278782,"sku":"9780309089753","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780309089753.jpg?v=1715049234","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780309089753","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
