From the article:

The fingerprint reader unlocks the gun in microseconds, but since it may not work when wet or in other adverse conditions, the PIN pad is there as a backup. LodeStar did not demonstrate the near-field communication signal, but it would act as a secondary backup, enabling the gun as quickly as users can open the app on their phones.

"Uh, excuse me Mr. Bad Guy, before you shoot me I need to find my smart phone."

I'll transition to "smart guns" right after the local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies do.

After all, an officer is more susceptible to being shot by his/her own weapon, so this technology should be a life-saver for law enforcement, no?

This is a perfect solution...for government LEO. Let them see how it will fail in the real world.

A solution in search of a problem. Childhood accidental gun deaths are on the decline, even as gun ownership skyrockets.

Woke politicians will force law enforcement to buy these, as this will a purely political product — but I can’t imagine one-single gun-owner / 2nd Amendment supporter I know who would ever consider having one of these - even if given it for free.

(((YAWN))) Greedy freeloaders trying to force their bullsh*t on the American people and make us pay for worthless crap. I notice no one is trying to make knives or blunt objects “Smart”.

LodeStar integrated both a fingerprint reader and a near-field communication chip activated by a phone app, plus a PIN pad.

Would imagine that the phone app could be hacked into by the government to completely disable the weapon, rendering it useless.

Sure, but ONLY after a real-world test.

Replace ALL Secret Service protection details, FBI, and IRS weapons with smart guns. ZERO dumb weapons of any kind, including personal, will be held by these service personnel. Give it a 2-year trial.

Putting aside all the reasons we don’t want this.

The left doesn’t want it either. They don’t want anything to actually let people own guns.

It’s like missile defense, they claim the opposition is because it doesn’t work, but really they don’t want us to be able to defend ourselves.

Same with guns.

No way. Just think of your phone or computer with a bio-lock. I bet everyone has the same experience as me and if there is anything on your finger, it no longer works. Heck, even just finishing the dishes or putting lotion on the hands disrupt it enough to not work. Our face recognition doesn’t work on the phone unless you take the mask off, open your eyes, etc. A gun with all of this is recipe for disaster.

Next is internet-linked guns, with the federal or state kakistocracy having access to deactivate your gun.

enabling the gun as quickly as users can open the app on their phones.

I don't have a cell/smart phone because I don't get a signal here at home. My wife has one and I borrow it if I go any distance from home.
