Nice. You’re being mugged or raped and you get a message on your “smart” watch that tells you that your “smart” gun is “Loading, please wait”. No thanks.
Even if every single Federal, State, and local law enforcement officer has carried these and no other for a decade I still wouldn’t buy one.
L
I wouldn’t have one if they were giving them away.
No
Smart Guns. Made by the same people that make these dumbass smart phones. NFW!
Tell ya what.
When the military, cops, FBI, Secret Service, etc., adopt these ‘smart’ weapons, I will start considering them.
I like my guns to be just like liberals: loud, obnoxious, dumb, and predictable....."
CNC machines, 3-D printers and 80% finished receivers render this Dumbocrat idiocy DOA. Go ahead and waste your time, Giffords.
While modern firearms manufactured by reputable manufactures are more reliable than ever, jams are still not uncommon especially with smaller, personal carry semi-auto handguns. This is especially true for people who aren’t avid shooters and don’t clean and maintain them on a regular basis or buy cheap off-brand ammo. Every layer of complexity added to a firearm lowers its reliability. And for a personal defense firearm reliability is the absolute number one factor to be concerned with.
All yo need to know ( More of NJ, the Nation’s $hit Fountain, migrating to CT via Harvard):
“Himes was born July 5, 1966 in Lima, Peru, to American parents, where his father worked for the Ford Foundation.
His father, James R. Himes, also worked for UNICEF, being the director of the Unicef Innocenti Center, a research institute on child development in Florence, Italy.
His mother, Judith A. Himes, was, until recent years, the director of board activities for the New Jersey Board of Higher Education in Trenton.
He spent his early childhood in Lima and Bogotá, Colombia. After the divorce of his parents, Jim, his mother, and his two sisters moved to Pennington, New Jersey, where Himes attended and graduated from Hopewell Valley Central High School.
Himes attended Harvard University as an undergraduate where he was the captain of the Lightweight crew and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1988. Himes studied for a degree in Latin American studies as a Rhodes scholar at St Edmund Hall, Oxford and graduated with a Master of Philosophy in 1990. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the University of Bridgeport on May 5, 2012.”
Yep.
And now, he brags about it!
Harvard IS “the lightweight crew!”
Heh, my thoughts exactly.
“Gun control groups who favor smart gun technology say it has been retarded due to “obstructionism by the gun lobby””
LOL. So why don’t they make their own “smart guns” and corner the market? Or is the gun lobby controlling them too?
“shown to be easily hacked with a magnet”
Gee, that opens up whole new avenues for crime. Want to murder someone and get away with it? Get their spouse’s smart gun, hack it, shoot the victim, put the smart gun back.
Very little chance the police would even bother to look for another suspect in that case.
Actually, it will only tell you that after you swipe through 5 popup ads served up by Google.
Dependability. Nothing else matters.
Excellent point. A back door gun ban.
This is utterly bogus. Every firearm is already a ‘smart gun’ if its owner isn’t a Bonehead and had the proper education.
