"I wonder if the cops would use such a system after they get blasted by quicker bad guys because of delays in the recognition system?"
Actually, cops have been exempted from being forced to use handguns with this technology. The reason is because no cop would ever take a chance with his life with such "technology". So if the cops don't have to use "smartguns" for fear of malfunction, then why should private citizens?
Answer(s):
1 - Because this is just another step towards eliminating private handgun ownership.
2 - The trial lawyers are going to make a mint suing the firearms manufacturers when these "smartguns" fail and people begin to sue.
3 - Because if there is an electronic way to enable these "smartguns" to fire, then there is most certainly an electronic way to prevent these "smartguns" from firing. Imagine if the police (or criminals) got their hands on a device that can shut off your handgun?
