There are some things that are just not done!

Over the last decade, plagued by a near-constant stream of mass shootings, a heated debate over gun safety has gripped the United States.
While lawmakers around the country argue about ways to better regulate guns, or even if they should regulate them at all, a Colorado startup has turned to technology to help solve the problem. Biofire, which started as a high school science project in 2012, says it has now invented the first working biometric smart gun. It requires facial recognition and fingerprint verification to unlock and shoot. The company is now accepting pre-orders.

Yup, I’ll buy that.
Right after I get the newest Yugo.
Gun hacking will be next and then AI determining if the threat is real.
That would be a firm “NO F’N WAY!”.
Then the gun will report to the FBI that the gun was fired three times in two seconds and they need to dispatch agents.
If people WANT to buy it, fine.
Mandate it for everyone, nope.
Require it for all government and police and military. All of the Biden regime’s henchman guards.
Put the piece in the Smithsonian.
Yes, an incredibly stupid idea 😧.
Every time you shoot, it pauses and asks “Do you really need to fire another shot?” Put a new magazine in and have to re-verify again....
And if the battery dies, you die.
They have already had this 20 years ago and the key problem still exists.
If a $1,200 Smartphone has intermittent problems with facial recognition and fingerprint scans, and a measurable delay in access, what chance does a firearm have for 100% instantaneous recognition in an emergency situation? A store clerk pulling a gun from behind the counter has no time to line up the gun for “facial recognition”.
There are some things that are just not done!
People are buying locks for their homes that open from a smartphone. The bolts and hardware are subpar by all accounts, but people have no problem tacking them on. Idiot Demos and swamp RINOs are going to go all in on this tech.
When the secret service and major PDs like NYPD, LAPD, Chicago PD all replace their service weapons with these, I might consider it. Never happen, but I’ll consider it.
One hopes that it fails like the Edsel.
When I read the headline I thought the gun applied facial recognition to the target. Shoot only at certain people or a designated target and not at others.
Stare into the end of the muzzle, smile and wait for the flash.
The local gun talk radio show host said antiques like his 1911 Colt would be ruined by sawing inside to comply with new biometric item placement.
So now government can shut off your electric car, make your cashless bank account go to zero, shut your home locks and windows, refuse your access to groceries, make your TV go blank and shut off your phone. And lock down your weapons.
“It’s a free country, go ahead.” Last heard a few years ago and mystifying to people soon.
Noooo thanks!
😅
“thought the gun applied facial recognition to the target. Shoot only at certain people or a designated target and not at others.”
Chinese facial recognition software plus such a gun could make living in the DC area very hazardous.
