Dear Aimee Dewing & Smart Tech Challenges Foundation:
“that allow only authorized owners to control access to their firearms.”
This appears to be an infringement of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. viz
“to keep” = means “not to let go one`s possession or control” = Webster`s Dictionary, p460
Once the “owner” of a gun restricts that use to himself by a machine or instrument, he has lost control if he wants to let his son or nephew or relative or friend use the weapon for self-defense or even target practice or to scare off wolves here, if he is incapable, in a hurry sometimes coz wolves run pretty fast..
Even hunters switch rifles sometimes to try them out in the field. This is a no- brainer- Any company producing such owner-only weapons will probably wind up in challenges in court and spend millions of dollars in litigation.
What should be done is to put criminals who have used weapons in jail, not restrict law-abiding citizens by forcing them to use single-owner only smartweapons.
sorry nice intention but bad unconstitutional idea.
What if a cop could fire only his weapon? What if he was shot and another cop needed to use his weapon to defend himself or both? [This does not apply to military or national guard?]
Criminal wins- smartgun loses, cops dead just because of this stupoid idea. Oh this smart weapon technology does not apply to law enforcement personnel?
hmmmmm- that in itself is unconstitutional.
Criminals are usually always one step ahead of police and everyone else.
If they can hack Apple`s iPhone finger print security, they can steal and hack any -”owner-only” smartgun, reverse engineer it and be able to fire it by disabling said technology..
well duhhhhhhhh
It`s a waste of time,talent, money and a violation of the Second Amendment.
I taught my 5 brothers and sisters how to become marksmen/women from the age of 8, coz we have wolves up here preying on livestock. According to this proposal I would have to buy 5 more smart-rifles just to target practice- .
Gimme a break!
This is a stupid stupoid idea and someone has no common sense, and it ain`t me.
Nice try, but someone is headed for expensive litigation and it ain`t me.
I guess it appears none of the people at Smart tech challenges foundation was ever raised on a farm???
You`all must be appearing to be them thar city slickers that never had to protect chickens in the coop from the foxes nor goats, sheep & cattle from the wolves n coyotes..
It`s nice and eye-opening to get out into the rest of the world to see how people live elsewhere,not just in cities.
Best regards,
no you wouldn't, you'd just leave the "watch" or whatever it is, with the rifle....anyone can use it.
