To the author's credit, she did include this sentence: "Not surprisingly, gun advocates haven't embraced the efforts of Smart Tech and others. Smart guns are a slippery slope leading to gun control, some feel. Gun enthusiasts have raised questions about the reliability of the guns -- what if there was a technological glitch when you needed to defend yourself? "
But overall, she puts her faith in Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to come up with safe guns.

It’s certainly the latest opening to defraud the taxpayers if Ubama’s EO goes anywhere. The solar panel fraud has run its course.

Considering that Microsoft can’t get Windows right (full of security holes), can’t imagine them getting into the smart gun software business.

Of course not. Most people won’t. Just alerting everybody to a new push to get Silicon Valley to fix a non-problem. Use the info as you see fit.

Exactly right. They flushed billions on solar and car batteries. Now they can flush another billion on this. Democrat cronies lining up at the trough as we breathe.

A bad idea, easily hacked.
Firearms are a 750+ year old technology that somebody hopes to control by adding a microchip?
Not gonna happen.
In Brazil, where guns are heavily controlled, people make their own machine guns.

A “safe” gun is one that absolutely reliably goes “BANG” when the legitimate owner needs it to. False negatives are intolerable.

I couldn’t imagine a gun running Widows 10. I’ll stay with my old tech guns.

Hi Tech crap is just that. Hi Tech crap. It will be a cold day in he!! before I’d buy one of these so called “smart” guns.
To: ProtectOurFreedom
So how exactly would a “smart guy” prevent the two-thirds of the so called “gun violence deaths” which are suicides?

I'm sorry, Dave, I can't let you fire your weapon, that would be racist, Islamophobic, homophobic and misogynistic, you being a straight White Christian male and all.

No one???
Not so sure. Specifics are not available -- but -- it could appeal to lot of people, like those with a lot of kids.
IF you don't have to lock up your guns where they would be hard to get your hands on when needed -- it may protect you and your family MORE.
Also other issues like someone turning your own gun on you.
There may some appeal there.
If made mandatory, not for me either!!

Get used to these words “type emergency password”. Because you will see those words a lot. I have used high end fingerprint readers on PC’s and they suck. I have used the android fingerprint login and it sucks. They all suck and a smart gun would suck too. You will be dead way before you can log in.

That’s right. Another slush fund for DemoRats. If any industry doesn’t need help with R&D it’s the firearms industry. There are hundreds of individuals working on something new at any given time in history much less the employees of manufacturers. Those firearms makers who have been enjoying historic gains in stock values during the worst economy in decades.
