“Smart” guns are playing right into the anti2A crowds hands. Any company offering a “smart” gun should be boycotted right out of business ASAP.

That’s the intent. If a smart gun fails, lawsuits.

I might listen when the technology is demonstrated in the following manner;

The bizjet of the guy wanting to sell this technology, the airlines, and Air Force One all install the same system. Airplanes are abused, stolen, hijacked, and flown into buildings.
The planes should be built so that the authorized user must wear a special RFID wristwatch. If the watch isn’t in communication with the fuel pumps, they will shut down and prevent flight.

I wouldn’t fly in such a plane where the failure of such a link would shut down the engines in flight.

You first A-holes.

LE should demo them for a year. If they work, LE can make them standard equipment for all LEOs. In five years they can analyze the data and measure the effectiveness on LE equipment thefts/shootings. Trump-esque solution to LE inspired/requested 2A amendments.

I think it’s about ensuring cannot fight the authorities, because authorities could shut them off remotely.

When every single police officer in every department across the country, and when the military trusts their lives to so-called “smart guns”, then I’ll remotely CONSIDER them.

Until then... No dice. No matter what.

They can pass all the laws they want. It doesn’t matter.

and in Hogan’ Ally Cop Shooting Contest, a Smart Gun looses badly.

In a real Shooting contest/incident like Hogans Alley the cop looses his life.

"“Smart” guns are playing right into the anti2A crowds hands.

Who do you think originated the idea in the first place??

"Any company offering a “smart” gun should be boycotted right out of business ASAP."

Without a law forcing people to buy them (which is, again, the long-term game plan), no one will. I would certainly never buy one.

I am pretty sure that’s not how they work.

I know that when I am trying to get into my cel phone there are times I have to try three or four times. I am sure my fingers will be sweating a little more if I was pulling out a handgun.

What makes a smart gun work. A battery? If so dead when you need the gun.
