I find it ironic that an Indian tribe would prefer to sell guns to the government that subjugated it with guns, rather than to private citizens so they could protect themselves against any potential government subjugation.

The Intelligence Community has a longstanding special relationship with the Navajo Nation.

Smells a little spooky.

I’m okay with smart guns as long as, 1 they are not mandatory, 2 they are easily hackable!

Only a dipstick would presume that somehow the tribe forces people into its casino. Oh, wait. That's what you're saying, isn't it?

[Ancesthntr]

The problem with “smart guns” is not only about the mandatory nature that the gun control freaks would like to impose on us (so that they could shut them down at will, of course), but also their reliability.

I still like the original point and click interface, the revolver, and its more modern semi-auto descendants - NONE of which depend upon electronics. No thank you, not when my life depends upon it working absolutely perfectly. Mechanical things can be made to be 99.9999% reliable...electronics cannot, not in my experience.

They should have sold it to them with one caveat - no bailouts in any way, shape or form should they fail. Let them go broke and a real buyer pick up the pieces pennies on the dollar.

Smart guns - if someone knocks me down to steal it, they will steal my hand too.
No thanks.

Smart guns will require batteries.
I know how well my flashlights work if I don't use them for 6 months.
No thanks.

They will contain a computer.
When I have an intruder in the house, I will not have time to wait for it to boot up, ask for password and download a software update before I can use it.
No thanks.

There is already something to prevent cars from being stolen.
It's called keys. Does not seem to help much.
I have no reason to believe smart guns will be any more reliable.
No thanks.

What are you talking about? We speak English here.

[Celerity]

So the Navajo nation wants only the U.S. government to have guns?

Is this from the Sacramento Bee?

[packrat35]

He never said any such thing. They do gouge their customers and only idiots with no other choices, go to Indian casinos.

[RightGeek]

Dear Navajo Tribe,

Go easy on the peyote.

Post #3.
Great comment.

[arthurus]

“Smart Gun” sounds inordinately expensive.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Sounds like this group of Navajo Talkers were politely told to STFU

[Simon Green]

How can someone have no other choice but to go to an Indian casino?

[circlecity]

Wow, someone had an idea that would make Remington guns even crappier than they are now.

[circlecity]

When the next closest casino is over 500 miles away.

[Osage Orange]

I have Casinos within a mile of my office.

Never stepped into that one.

I'm part American Indian...live in OK...have a Tribal car tag...

Went to my Tribal HQ's...to clear some car tag biz...up.

Stepped into my tribe's Casino there...just to see what was up.....Was underwhelmed...bot a beer...watched some soccer...and left.

Drove home...........
