[Second Amendment First]

Make the cops use them first.

[headstamp 2]

This crap has been around for years

[E. Pluribus Unum]

And this would stop gang-bangers from killing each other how, exactly?

[DBrow]

“watch that transmits an identifying radio frequency that prevents everyone but its wearer from firing.”

So it’s not specific to the owner, just whoever clubs the owner and has the watch.

I bet transmitting a strong CW carrier would prevent the receiver from getting its signal from the watch.

garbage

[RandallFlagg]

Ya know, we oughta start calling these people who want to restrict the 2nd out for what they are:
RACISTS.
The very first gun control laws in America were done to keep certain races from doing things that those who enacted the laws didn’t want them to be doing.
Just start calling out to them, “Gun control is RAAAACIST!”

[OKSooner]

Uh, speaking of Sandy Hook...

If the kid's mom had owned one of these guns, wouldn't he have taken the wristwatch thingie when he took the guns to go kill people with, after he killed his mom?

Huh?

F'n stupid.

[NFHale]

Exactly.

When the cops trust THEIR lives to them, then I will.

And suppose I’m not home, and my wife or kids need to use it quickly for a kick-in style home invasion?

Nah.

I’ll keep what I got - regardless.

After all... THIS IS MY MOST BASIC RIGHT - Constitutional, Civil, and Human Right.

[Travis McGee]

Police first for a ten-year test.

[buffaloguy]

Just what i have searching for: a gun which lights up in the dark.

I hope they have liability insurance to cover the first failure.

[ontap]

do you really want to rely on this thing....or it’s batteries!!!

[indthkr]

Earth calling to Smart Tech Challenges Foundation:

Semiautomatic firearms are 100 year old technology that can probably be practiced in your basement with a modest investment in fabrication gear (including 3D printers).

Maybe for their next trick, Smart Tech Challenges will come up with biometric lock-out solutions for baseball bats and pointy dinnerware.

[muir_redwoods]

Until the government floods the airways with a signal to disable the guns.

[Kickass Conservative]

I wear my Watch on my Left Wrist. I shoot a Gun with my Right Hand.

What’s the “range” of the Signal?

[Telepathic Intruder]

In anticipation, the cops have probably already developed a radio jammer that prevents anyone from using the gun at all.

[kidd]

Great. Electronic devices to jam your ability to fire your weapon will become hot commodities on the street (and elsewhere).

[MNDude]

This would make a great scene in a thriller or horror movie. Serial murderer is coming up the stairs, victim pulls out safety gun, but it doesn’t work because she has really dirty hands. Will she be able to clean her hands sufficiently in time for the gun to work or will she become the killer’s next victim?

Riddle me this: If and when your batteries go dead (and usually when it will be needed in the gravest extreme), then this pistol becomes as useful as a rock. This pistol needs to be tested by law enforcement agencies. I recommend the FBI and BATFE. If they can't or won't use the technology, then that says something about the usefulness of the idea, doesn't it?
