Disarma

After long research in her home garage, Gina Rossi, an anti-gun chemical engineer develops the right formula to change the behavior of chemical elements within the smokeless powder used in firearms. Her purpose is to disable the shooting capability of firearms in chosen areas. Gina, excitedly seeks the help of Paul Rossi, her husband, a pro-gun electronic engineer to obtain the same results, but this time via electronic transmissions. After some seductive convincing by Gina, Paul reluctantly starts working on the project.

Gina and Paul develop an electronic device that they call Disarma, and after a successful live test with real guns, Gina wants to show Disarma to the world and calls a press conference. The results of the press conference are not what Gina and Paul expected, instead, their good intention to save lives and provide people with a tool to stop unwanted shootings in their chosen area is not welcome, and fierce challenges are posed to Disarma by powerful people.

But Gina is not giving up on Disarma. She fights back to make the Disarma project a reality, even if it steps on highly sensitive toes.

CLOSING: The story addresses the issue of guns, but I think, I have been able to balance out the anti-gun and pro-gun groups’ passion about the subject, and pass the burden to an always acceptable guilty entity.
