Let ‘em sell the silly things. I’ll be waiting for the first person to get killed because something failed and their gun didn’t “unlock.”
(If California mandates these things for the police, look for somebody to come out with a jammer that will prevent the police guns from firing!)
Good!
I would never shop there and if the owner were a friend I would let him know as much.
Difficult to believe that anyone would even buy one of these pieces of crap.
If/when the SHTF, you’re going to be fumbling with this horse manure technology all the way to the morgue.
Keep It Simple, Stupid is the high sign in moments of intense stress.
And that’s all to one side when considering the political issue; once it’s established that The Government can tell you what sort of weapon falls within Second Amendment purview, your freedom is gone.
So let’s say I buy this wonderful safety package.
Why would it be necessary for me to lock it up and why couldn’t I leave it loaded.
The device that makes it possible for me to fire the weapon could be locked in a drawer or safe.
Sumpin like that of thinking.
The thing is a battery powered 22lr, seriously? If I had to choose a weapon, I’d arm myself with a baseball bat before I’d break that thing out.
No thanks.
Mitchell is a moron. Decent people cannot compromise with those who see meeting halfway as the first of many steps toward getting their way completely. My right to keep and bear arms is not negotiable, and I will not compromise my rights in any way with those who want me disarmed.
But if we're talking compromise, what I'd like is a compromise in which we identify the 15,000 (out of 30,000) most useless gun laws in the country and repeal them all. Then we could compromise and identify the most useless 7,000 remaining gun laws and repeal them . . . Oh . . . the left isn't interested in that sort of compromise, only in compromise that turns the ratchet in their direction? That's what I thought.
It isn't so much that gun owners are "afraid" of a mandate, those poor silly people, because it isn't fear that is being shown here, it's outrage that someone would go along with the scam. The Post missed the significant part of the story. It was the rage. We've had enough, we really, really have.
Dear Aimee Dewing & Smart Tech Challenges Foundation:
“that allow only authorized owners to control access to their firearms.”
This appears to be an infringement of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. viz
“to keep” = means “not to let go one`s possession or control” = Webster`s Dictionary, p460
Once the “owner” of a gun restricts that use to himself by a machine or instrument, he has lost control if he wants to let his son or nephew or relative or friend use the weapon for self-defense or even target practice or to scare off wolves here, if he is incapable, in a hurry sometimes coz wolves run pretty fast..
Even hunters switch rifles sometimes to try them out in the field. This is a no- brainer- Any company producing such owner-only weapons will probably wind up in challenges in court and spend millions of dollars in litigation.
What should be done is to put criminals who have used weapons in jail, not restrict law-abiding citizens by forcing them to use single-owner only smartweapons.
sorry nice intention but bad unconstitutional idea.
What if a cop could fire only his weapon? What if he was shot and another cop needed to use his weapon to defend himself or both? [This does not apply to military or national guard?]
Criminal wins- smartgun loses, cops dead just because of this stupoid idea. Oh this smart weapon technology does not apply to law enforcement personnel?
hmmmmm- that in itself is unconstitutional.
Criminals are usually always one step ahead of police and everyone else.
If they can hack Apple`s iPhone finger print security, they can steal and hack any -”owner-only” smartgun, reverse engineer it and be able to fire it by disabling said technology..
well duhhhhhhhh
It`s a waste of time,talent, money and a violation of the Second Amendment.
I taught my 5 brothers and sisters how to become marksmen/women from the age of 8, coz we have wolves up here preying on livestock. According to this proposal I would have to buy 5 more smart-rifles just to target practice- .
Gimme a break!
This is a stupid stupoid idea and someone has no common sense, and it ain`t me.
Nice try, but someone is headed for expensive litigation and it ain`t me.
I guess it appears none of the people at Smart tech challenges foundation was ever raised on a farm???
You`all must be appearing to be them thar city slickers that never had to protect chickens in the coop from the foxes nor goats, sheep & cattle from the wolves n coyotes..
It`s nice and eye-opening to get out into the rest of the world to see how people live elsewhere,not just in cities.
Best regards,
Does the smart gun also only shoot people in the arm or leg?
