Gun shops will not sell them because people like me will NEVER buy them. Not in a million years.

After smart funs, the next thing the liberals would try to do is force us all to become cyborgs. We wouldn’t be allowed to move our body parts without a product key.

All government employees should only be allowed to use smart guns, yah know, for their safety.
To: Red in Blue PA
Nothing like having you life depending on a dead battery, because the gun hasn’t been used in a year.

The German Smart System iP1, .22 caliber, was selling for $1500. That’s 3 times what I paid for my S&W 9mm.
Tough sell.

Smart guns are an eminently stupid idea.

...Me and several million other Americans will still be using our old fashioned dumb guns.
Good luck.

You mean a smart gun that the government can shut down by satellite based on its registration information?
No thanks. Not available when it may be needed the most.

I have several smart guns. They will not fire unless I load them and pull the trigger.
We are repeatedly told that guns kill people. All of my guns are smart enough that so far they never have killed anyone.

It's a stupid idea. Especially the fingerprint recognition variety. My fingerprints are very hard to scan electronically. I needed a CAC card for work with my customer. The card requires a good thumbprint. It took 40 minutes on good equipment with a skilled operator to get a satisfactory print. Try that with a "smart gun". You're dead in seconds with a defective paper weight. No thanks. My toys work reliably and correctly. The smarts is tied up in the operator.

“Smart Guns”
Will they work as well as this government’s “Smart Diplomacy”?

Besides the high retail price I’m wondering how durable are the electronics built into this pistol? What does it cost to repair this thing when the chip or circuitry goes bad? Where can you find a gunsmith familiar with this thing? Most firearms are built to last decades. This thing is more like a household appliance in its durability and service life.

It has no history. It might last 6 months then be impossible to fire.

I'm for free choice and a free market, which this could fall under and unfortunately does not. If people want a gun that's far more expensive and less reliable, they'll be free to buy them. If that were all there was to it.
It isn't likely to happen, and the reason is that the gun owner community has been correct all along: this was just a method of restricting their options, not adding to them. It was, in short, a subterfuge and a lie. Anyone who has been dealing with the gun prohibitionists at all knew this from the beginning.

My guns are smart. I pull the trigger, they go boom. Genius.
