If a manufacturer could make such a devise, the crook need only take out the batteries, because the default for a malfunction is to allow the pistol to fire.
I looked at the specifications PDF. It seems definitely wired for a particular modifiable model some current manufacturer has for sale or on the drawing boards.
There are too many characteristics that point to being wired for somebody, IMO. Go look.
A Smart Gun has been to college.
It has learned White Privilege and Micro Aggression.
And all sorts of Diversity.
And has a $100,000 debt.
And no job.
My comment:
Any such weapon should be field tested for at least a year by federal agencies such as the FBI, CIA, NSA, BATF&E, EPA, CPS, IRS, INS, DHS, DOT, DOE, DOJ, and the Secret Service.
Rather than an RFID tag on the gun owner, put an RFID tag on the catch-and-release crooks.
Program gun to only fire at the crooks’ RFIDs.
No thanks.
Once the Secret Service, FBI, DEA and other organizations this gun for a few years without failure, I will consider it.
Who might I kidding, there is no way I would touch one of these things.
This is just another backdoor tax on guns. Normal people will immediately disable the “Smart” feature, whether that requires removing the batteries or significant work with a Dremel/soldering iron, making the guns more expensive but no different in function.
