The anti-gunners will probably drool over this, especially in Worker’s Utopias like New Jersey...Wasn’t there some bill that they were trying to push a few years ago in NJ that said when handguns become available with this sort of technology, all older handguns would be outlawed??? Somebody refresh my memory here, if you can...
So, basically if this gets on the market, imagine that some bright, enterprising gov-funded alphabet agency develops a li’l block box that can lock on and shut down civilian-owned handguns... or lock on and pinpoint locations, build and store databases, etc., etc., There’s a lot of room for some really nasty shenanigans, as I see it. As if there isn’t enough information on folks already stored away...
My response is basically this: I’ll keep my old trustworthy “Index Finger Safety” weapons, and they can keep their $10K electronic Euroweenie gizmo and place it in an organically-politically-incorrect body cavity...
To call upon the wise words of Robert A. Heinlein.
“No intelligent man has any respect for an unjust law. He simply follows the eleventh commandment.”
Anyone who has a basic understanding of chemistry and a reasonable skill in metal work can never be disarmed for long and woe upon he who forces us to put this knowledge into practice.
IIRC, NJ and CA have both passed laws requiring new technology on guns so many months after initial availability, but I can’t remember if it’s this owner-interlocking kind of thing or microstamping of bullets fired or maybe spent brass.
for ten grand, it better grow legs, follow me around, and shoot by itself.
Seriously, I think it’s already enough trouble making sure I have the right ammo. I don’t want to have to worry about getting the right watch too. Can you imagine the confusion if you owned three or four of these stupid guns? Three or four stupid watches...letsee, what watch goes with what gun...hold on mr criminal, I have to sort out my watches first.
dnag, now that was worth pingin ya...BWAHAHAHAHA...
