Smith & Wesson voluntarily agreed, among other product safety changes, to make magazine disconnects available as an option on all its pistols.
“I can’t really go around talking about how there needs to be more gun safety for 25-year-old men who know better,” she said.
But in a second interview months later, Skipper said that after talking with NBC News she had come around to the idea that more guns should have magazine disconnects.
And law enforcement agencies that previously required magazine disconnects in standard-issue weapons have largely moved to guns without them.
Magazine disconnects are “becoming much less common for sure.”Consumers may have moved on, but the deadly accidents have persisted.
