Smart guns are for idiots.

I want mine to work when I need it. Or my wife needs it. Or my extended family going back 3 generations.

I wish very bad things on anti-gunners.

awarded $1.1 million by the US Department of Justice to continue testing a safer personalized weapon.

What a waste. I have a 100% safe gun in my home that cost about $400 in 1991. It never ever jumps up shooting by itself.

Think of all the meals that could have been prepared for homeless people with that much money.

""We're grateful for the money," said Sebastian."

I bet you are. Your gun will be garbage though, because it's electronic and requires batteries. It will fail, but you won't care. You gat your money and praise from all the feel good ninnie nannies.

Some pic, huh? Otherwise, this is a dubious development. Watch the LEOs shy away.

I think they spent the money on the right thing, imagine a gun that if stolen by a criminal cannot be used and then the criminal has to resort to using his previous firearm, knife or vehicle to kill whomever, it might even mean that he has to buy non-smart guns with an IQ of less than 70.

Can I get $1.1 million to attach Sweet Tarts to the grips of my Beretta also? Mine doesn't have rust on it either, would that get me more money?

OOPS!

Should have been:

The second quotation mark goes after the end of the URL.

Only when the secret service and police use these "smart guns" will I be willing to entrust my life with one.

Let's have the FBI, DEA, BATF, even the local cops field test these puppies for a couple of years first. Think they're eager to try them?

Yeah, right.

Oh, and if they also use this technology for eeeevil assault weapons, will New Jersey allow you to buy them?

The gun grabbers will figure out a way to require you to own one. They don't give a damn if it works.

Won't the user's grip be different under pressure? You cannot "calibrate" the "smart" feature under the actually stress of a life and death situation.

Much less to deal with a finger sprain, or gloves.

Typical useless idiot academics, living off grant money.
