Wouldn’t it be convenient to just be able to throw a switch and no civilian firearm in flyover country would work?

Fortunately, I have all the handguns I need - all dumb as a sack of hammers. I doubt that The State of Texas would go along with any smart gun crap. God Bless Texas...

Leads right into Plug’s comment...
“Biden claimed that this technology “could have gigantic payoff for us”...”

"...stupid gun..."
I recently discovered this...a Browning 1911 380acp. It's 85% of the size of a full-size 1911 in 45. No circuits, no transistors, no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. I want one.

all of my "dumb" guns are smarter than every living RAT since they ALL know NOT to fire till they made to do so... RATS all think guns are to blame and not the thugs behind the triggers

Joe Biden has his head stuck so far up his *ss that they had to poke holes in his belly so he could see where he’s going.
No one with even half a brain believes this so-called smart gun technology will ever amount to sh*t.

I understand the idea...and it tantamount to universal registration. If everyone were required to install any such technology on their private property (especially if it were electronic) then were the gruberment to decide to attack you they could use RF jamming devices to prevent you from defending yourself.

Word to the wise, this will spread to ALL guns.
Then the government can transmit a signal that locks your guns thus disabling them

Obama should do a test. Have all the White House security personnel and his personal Secret Service detail only be allowed to use “smart guns”.
