The “smart gun” is the dumbest idea ever to come along.

The only one who can fire it is the certified owner of the gun. This can be done by wearing a bracelet or by fingerprint identification.

Now, take this scenario: You wake up at night and there is an attacker standing over you (or in your room). Do you ask him to wait to attach while you put your bracelet on or worse yet, ask him if he can open the gun safe and give you your gun so you can protect yourself? How STUPID!

Next, You are gone from your home and your wife or child is attacked. Do they call you so you can come home to operate the “safe pistol” or do they use the pistol as a club to try to protect themselves? What if they don’t have the combination to the gun safe?

The most horrible thought is “what if the battery is dead!” Imagine your family is dead or abused simply because the battery is dead. Worse yet, you are dead because of a watch battery that is dead.

The “chicken littles” of gun control cannot even envision the fact that when you are in need of a gun for protection...IT IS IMMEDIATE; not something you have plenty of time to “fiddle around” with to actually have it in hand and ready to use.

We had gun control when I was a boy back in the 50’s. It was called RESPONSIBILITY and COMMON SENSE.

The rules were simple:

Obey the law.
Always assume the gun is loaded.
Don’t point a gun at anyone even though you think it is unloaded.
Know what is behind your target.

And........if you violate any of these rules Daddy is going to kick your ass!
