Only a complete moron would use a gun that will only fire if a battery operated contraption lets him. If your battery dies (that would never happen) or the electronics fails (again, that would never happen), or there a malfunction (not going to happen) or the SHTF (EMP fries all electronics) then you are out-o-luck.
I heard the software is windows 7. No worries unless your cpu usuage inexplicably spikes when it tries to read your prints...
The people pushing this idea can’t make the connection with a dead cell phone battery (which we’ve all experienced) and a dead “smart gun” battery. That’s the problem with liberals: they spout ideas without ever really thinking any of it through.
Whatever happened to the electronic firing mechanism that some rifles had (Remington I think)? It wasn’t “smart” technology, just an electronic linkage between trigger and firing pin.
