CPRC's Dr. John Lott talked to Coast-to-Coast AM's large audience about President Obama's push for smart guns.

Like all “smart” whatever——it is all about destroying individual control for centralized State control— which is embedding dependency on Science/elites and destroying self-reliance and shutting down the human brain to make useful idiots for State slavery.
If we don’t use the brain “to think” about anything—like directions/math facts/Philosophy/Theology—it withers and becomes like a tribal mind (unable to think in abstract profound ways). People become “happy” with slavery—crumbs from the elites as they rot away and get fat and lazy and their children are enslaved.
Anyone who promotes “smart” anything is dumb or trying to enslave the masses and create isolation and dysfunction. The Amish got it right-—the dehumanization is escalating to total isolation and making human beings obsolete so the elites can kill off billions and just use drones for their wars and driverless cars, etc.
That is their Malthusian/Darwinian plan since before J. Huxley and Orwell—to kill billions. To pull it off-—they are creating dumb, immoral “bots” using the skools and “law” to destroy Common Sense, Reason (brain function), and the Natural Family-—to institutionalize, dehumanize, drug, and program children with “smart” everything, but it will ONLY produce extremely DUMB people who can’t use any neurons in the brain (there won’t be any).
Won’t fly. Gun buyers want absolute confidence that it WILL go bang when they want it to - self defense use means the legitimate owner expects someone good will die if it doesn’t. Shifting the risk of operational failure to significantly increasing odds it won’t fire when it’s supposed top is simply not acceptable to buyers, so they won’t buy “smart guns”. It’s a machine, so there WILL be a failure rate; you can’t ensure it won’t fire when it shouldn’t AND ensure it will fire when it should by adding significant complexity to the firing process.
Back in the 1960s and 1970s, revolvers could have a “personal” safety installed that consisted of an internal magnetic connection to the sear. The owner/shooter would wear a steel ring to make it work. No visible alteration could be seen, and without the ring, it wouldn’t shoot.
The Military won't be the decision-maker. Dem Politicos will force such a decision on the military.
Consider who controls the military's purse-strings.
Let's hope that Republicans (real ones) continue to control Congress, and prevent this from happening.
I don’t even like Magazine safeties.
When I pull the trigger it should go bang
Exactly. The manufacturer and any online or brick and mortar stores that offer a SmartGun will be boycotted by me forever.
Ping
the HK P30 in 40 is the smartest gun there is.
(let me put my flame suit on..)
If smart guns were not mandated and we would always be able to buy regular guns, I would have no objection to them. They would not be my cup of tea, so I would not buy one. I suspect few people would, if they were voluntary and normal guns were available.
But if my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bicycle.
The fact of the matter is that New Jersey has already mandated that all guns sold in this state must be smart guns within a few years of a smart gun being on the market. Many other states would follow suit. The option would become a mandate almost overnight.
Manufacturers can “just say no”. Just like customers.
Once you mandate a “smart gun” creating a simple program to wireless disable it is fairly easy.
I tried the fingerprint reader on my Galaxy S6 as a means of securing the phone. Bad idea. Fortunately, they insist on providing a password as backup. I needed it. The fingerprint reader approach is once again disabled on my phone.
There is no way I would accept that kind of technology as barrier to use of my property (firearm). I'm sticking with my old, reliable technology. It's safe in my hands and works when I need it without a defective technology barrier that would certainly get me killed.
That fails immediately when your "strong hand" gets injured and you must shoot with the other one. The one without the steel ring. No dice. It has to work with either hand with no extra crap and even if the hand is injured, dirty, bloody or otherwise impaired. That happens in a fight for your life.
Agreed. All of my recent purchases state that it will fire without the magazine inserted. I want that capability. Especially if my mag gets damaged and I'm down to inserting rounds by hand. I have a couple with mag disconnectors. Not a big deal at the range, but a real hazard for personal defense.
“Mag-Na-Gard.”
It wasn't a marketing success, but it had promise—especially if they'd offered a ring for the "weak" hand! The weapon could be taken from you, but not used against you.
Speaking of control freaks, I got a new knock-knock joke:
A: “Knock Knock”
B: “Who’s there?”
A: “Control Freak... and this is where you would say ‘Control Freak Who?’...”.
