An open letter to Mike Worley
Hopefully Mike Worley aka safetybullet will drop by a lurk a bit.
Hopefully he will finally figure out that his primer powered wall anchor is not the cure-all, end-all he has envisioned.
Am I the only one who has noticed that Mike is bold enough to register here and present a feeble sales pitch but then turns tail and hides when his brainchild is shot down by logic. He then turns to e'mail harassment of one of our members instead of face to face forum discussion. Michael, if you are truely a concerned person you should rise above that type of cowardly behavour.
Mike Worley, and his misguided followers, needs to understand that you simply can't make your guns childproof, because children will be children.
As a responsible parent, you MUST Gunproof your Children.
You must teach them to deal with the reality of weapons and violence in our world.
Sooner or later everyones child WILL come in contact with a firearm. Perhaps in your own home but more than likely not. A child is much more likely to encounter a gun at someone elses home or even in the park where some drug dealer on the run from the police threw it in the bushes. This past Easter there were a group of children who found several guns outside their school during the Easter Egg Hunt! One of the ADULTS summoned by the children neglegently fired one of the guns.
Mike, if YOUR child encounters a gun will he/she know what to do? Will they know what NOT to do?
Mike, the idea of your product being of any use in a revolver is downright STUPID if not suicidal.
IF one of your magic beans, er, um, bullets were loaded in the first chamber, because in normal use the cylinder in a modern revolver only turns in one direction, and IF a person was to have the presence of mind under stress, to rotate past it, they would then still have a dangerous, unsafety device in their gun.
It is not uncommon for the average person, in a self defense situation, to fire the gun until it is empty. In this case YOUR unsafety device is still there lurking in the cylinder to lock up the gun preventing reloading. If your advice were followed and TWO magic bullets were used then a six shot revolver would only have three usable shots and a five shot revolver would only have TWO! Your advice to load two of your placebo bullets is an obvious attemmpt to stimulate extra sales of your usless product. The fact is the only modern revolver I know of that readily turns in either direction is a Ruger single action that has been modified after it leaves the factory with a free-spin pawl. If a child were to open the loading gate and spin the cylinder in any direction the only way your product would be of any value is if ALL chambers were loaded with them.
Now, Mike, we all know that you have a lot of money invested in that single stage press and for all of those loading dies. Plus the expense of brass and those primers. And Heaven knows Home Depot wants a fortune for a box of wall anchors. But face the facts, you'll be lucky to recoup the cost of your website and all of those plastic baggies you're using to package your Wonder Bullets.
If you really care about the safety of America's children then give up on this pie in the sky enterprise. Cut bait, quit while you're behind before you get further behind.
READ THIS BOOK, MICHAEL! and then start crusading for a REAL, WORKABLE solution that honestly IS for the children and not for your wallet.
Something that evryone can use without resorting to gimmics or misguided trust.
Besides Mike, you could make so much more money by travelling around the country preaching the gospel of Gunproofed Children. Besides when you speak, no one can tell that you don't know how to spell.
