ATLANTA- A local group is pushing for law enforcement officers across the country to be equipped with smart gun technologies.

If the people are to be saddled with prohibitive regulations, the police should demonstrate the viability by submitting first.
Yeah, the reaction ought to be good...
I’d like to ask the mayor (on camera), just what is a smart gun?
And does he think the cops are therefore dumb, dumber than their guns.
/s^infinity
I see an epidemic of “Blue Flu” hitting the Atlanta PD.
In a life and death situation, a smart gun is a death sentence.
So limit the police to iffy, untried technology while letting the criminals buy fully automatic military rifles from the department of just-us? How obama of him...
Reliable smart gun technology won’t be available for another age, and they’ve been working on it for forty years plus. Somebody didn’t do their homework. But, what do we expect from journalists, accuracy? If guns were as accurate as media journos, nobody’d ever get shot, every round would be a clean miss!
This is as stupid as it gets. ‘Smart’guns malfunction at a serious rate. Nothing like giving a police officer known faulty equipment.
How much will the family of a dead police officer get in a law suite when he dies in a gun fight with a criminal because the gun malfunctioned. The city would be bankrupted, and should be.
He probably thinks it can be programmed to not fire at black people.
I will be sooooo glad when the whole ‘smart’ crap will be gone from the popular culture lexicon. It’s nauseating and STUPID.
Serious question.
Why would any Police Officer EVER Vote for a Democrat?
Is the Police Union more important than their own lives?
I’m serious, what the hell is going on in this Country?

Shocking test results for the Armatix iP1 “smart gun”

Smart guns should be issued to the president’s Secret Service protection detail first - if the technology is that good, his life is the most important.
Smart cops will carry their own personal dumb guns, so they can protect themselves. It would not be illegal if they used them in that capacity— self defense.
I support smart cops and dumb guns!!!
If you have to call something smart, it ain’t.
The Mayor’s private security militia should be required to use them for a year or two first as a fair and impartial trial.
Looks like Apple has already come up with a solution: The iGun!
