Parkland Congressman: 'You Shouldn't Be Able to Fire a Gun' Without Fingerprint Recognition
PJ Media ^ | July 6, 2018 | Nicholas Ballasy

Posted on 07/07/2018 8:10:16 AM PDT by Zakeet

Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.) said the development of smart guns should be part of the gun-control conversation, arguing that a gun owner should not be able to fire a gun without some sort of verification like a thumbprint that's needed to unlock a smartphone.

Deutch also said that there are efforts underway to require gun manufacturers to incorporate smart technology in firearms but that the NRA is standing in the way.

"Yes, there are absolutely efforts. The technology has advanced where we’ve seen this kind of technology using guns," Deutch said during a conference call briefing with the Jewish Democratic Council of America this spring.

"It's a good thing to point out. People get it - when you just simply hold up your phone and show them that you can't get into your phone without a thumbprint, you shouldn't be able to fire a gun - you have an opportunity to save lives this way and this needs to become part of the conversation again ... the technology is there, it's the NRA who doesn't want it," he added.

Sounds like an excellent idea! But, let’s prove it to those skeptical gun nuts by first mandating it for all police officers and soldiers, who will face those criminals and enemy soldiers using outdated and dangerous “dumb gun” technology.

Does one need any more proof that science is an enemy of progressives?
Also does one need any more proof that politics exist as a gift from God to allow those without any discernable talents whatsoever to maintain an income (even though that income is not deserved and comes mostly from corruption).
These people define slime and idiocy.

Commie’s like this, should not be allowed to speak, even on private property or inside their own house, without having their speech vetted ahead of speaking, approved, and receive a permit. Then, all speech uttered must be recorded and filed just in case someone was or will be offended.

There’s more than one gun per person in the USA. If they started mandating that all new guns be “smart” guns, then we wouldn’t buy them, but we would still have almost 400 million guns.

But if Douche still thinks its a great idea, let’s do a pilot project and federal LEOs, security guards, and bodyguards use the “Smart” guns for five years first—just to build up some data on their effectiveness and reliability in real-world applications.

Communist wannabe politicians from Florida shouldn’t be able to shoot off their big, commie mouths without their dental records being on file with local law enforcement.

I recall reading a 1976 Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police position paper on gun control in which it said (among other things) “the licencing, registration, and serialization of firearms will not act as a deterrent to violence and will not necessarily identify the person perpetrating the crime” and described registration of all firearms as “administratively unrealistic and unworkable”. Law enforcement likely had far more sensible thinking on this issue back then as opposed to mindless politicians and Media Party hacks of today.

Next they will demand a firearm that can read your mind and then decide to unlock or not.

Has he issued such “smart” firearms to his bodyguards and police?

Ted Deutch”

‘Deutch was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the son of Jean (née Mindlin) and the late Bernard Deutch. His grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Belarus, Russia. A graduate of Liberty High School in Bethlehem, Deutch graduated from the University of Michigan, where he served as Editor-in-Chief of Consider magazine and was awarded the Harry S. Truman Scholarship, and from the University of Michigan Law School.

As a member of the National Young Leadership Cabinet of United Jewish Communities, Deutch organized over 2,500 people to march on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., with the intent of pressuring Congress on a slate of issues affecting children and the elderly. At the end of his tenure in the state senate, Deutch served as Vice Chair of the Committee on Regulated Industries, and the Policy and Steering Subcommittee of the Ways and Means Committee.”

So Deutch is a Secular Progressive Jewish carpetbagger from PA.
