If you have to put "Smart" in the name, it ain't.
The movie Judge Dredd comes to mind.
Make the legislature have to conduct a field test of any smart guns first. For two years, the legislators’ bodyguards and security people may ONLY have “smart” guns. And the “smart” feature MUST be used and not disabled.
Yes but apparently it cannot get through even a single magazine without a failure. Unacceptable in a self-defense firearm.
Just like today’s smart cars can be hacked, you would be crazy to own this.
In 2 days, the darknet will have a hack and people will start having the weapon just fire whenever and wherever.
Small example: On the show “Scorpions” they have an old 1980s era analog answering machine, since it can’t be hacked.
7 button pushes and 12 seconds (minimum) to access the firearm. With a quart of adrenaline dumped into your system. Tactics instructors worry about fine motor skills and being able to disengage a single safety, and these fools want you to push the correct 7 button sequence, in the dark, with your dog barking and the kids screaming... What an idiotic idea.
If you have to put "Smart" in the name, it ain't.
“In truth, NRA has never opposed smart guns...”
A gun that doesn’t work... even better!
As glaring as its faults are one has to wonder if it was rushed to market prematurely or built to fail.
Fails on multiple accounts. Sounds like a pistol liberals should be forced to buy.
Article reports the double-action pull off the scale and estimated at 25#. GFL...
I saw the Leslie Stahl piece on 60 Minutes. All I could think about was what a stupid old hag Leslie was.
Hmm...$1800 for a gun that has to be cold-booted and doesn’t go “bang” when you want it to? What a deal!
No thanks. Another gizmo that will fail when you need it most.
But, but. but... the gun control experts say this is the ‘safest’ gun. A gun that even when needed to work for the right reasons,,,might not.

I can’t wait to see the lawsuit for that one.
I will boycott any company that manufactures “smart guns” and any dealer that sells them (brick-and-mortar or Internet). If forced to buy one, I will disable the “smart” features immediately. There is nothing stupider than a gun designed to fail, which is the whole purpose of a “smart” gun.
